Auth_with_ldap patch to add tree searching wtih service account

If auth_by_bind is set, anonymous_bind is not set, and a 'service' account is
provided (<user> and <pass>), Auth_with_ldap.pm will not use the service
account to search the tree and determine the principal name.  Instead it
requires the principal name to be provided in the XML.  

This is a problem when users are in multiple OUs - there is no way to provide a
principal name that works for everyone.  It is a relatively easy fix - just
adding an elsif to check if a service account is provided, then search the tree
with that.  

We have multiple OUs, so I've modified the code and I've provided a patch as a
suggestion.  This may not be the ideal fix and it may cause unintended issues
for users who aren't doing auth_by_bind.  Would love to see something like this
incorporated into the koha code since I have to re-enable these each time we
update.
