password policy: exclude (or exempt) user from policy

It is desirable to have a mechanism to exclude (or exempt) a user from the policy.  For instance, it's nasty for various accounts associated with application entities (as opposed to humans) to be locked out.

In the Isode implementation, we have an operational single-valued attribute, pwdExclude, which if present in the user's entry and has the boolean value TRUE exempts the user from all password policy enforcement.

It would be good to add something like this to the spec.
