[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 7973 - Allow for new type of LDAP authentication

This patch aims to solve the LDAP bind authentication method. Here are
some considerations:

- This is a standalone patch, so all the previous submitted ones are
  rendered obsolete;
- LDAP bind authentication is now done in 3 steps:
  1 - LDAP anonymous bind;
  2 - LDAP search entry for the given username;
  3 - LDAP bind with the DN of the found entry + the given password.
- The process fails if none or more than 1 entries are found for the
  given username;
- The <principal_name> setting in koha-conf.xml isn't used anymore;
- The patch is backwards compatible, so users already using the
  previously implemented LDAP bind authentication should be able to use
  it the same.
