[DIRSERVER-2148] A Search on an Attribute that does not have a Substring MatchingRule should always do a full scan

Description

Searches using a filter like (ObjectClass=org*) should do a full scan, as the ObjectClass attributeType does not have a SUBSTRING matching rule :

attributetype ( 2.5.4.0 
	NAME 'objectClass' 
	DESC 'RFC2256: object classes of the entity' 
	EQUALITY objectIdentifierMatch 
	SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 
 )

Currently, we bypass this missing SUBSTRING matching rule, by using a default substring search. This is wrong. In this very case, the search should return nothing.
