Add the SearchCardnumberWithLDAP system preference.

This patch adds the "SearchCardnumberWithLDAP" system preference which will let
you search for cardnumbers on a LDAP server.
This feature only works in the Circulation section's "Check out" search bar.

This feature is useful if you want to be able to checkout items for new users
who were added on an LDAP server, but never connected on the OPAC.

Here is how this feature works:
* The librarian searches for a cardnumber in the intranet to do a checkout.
* Search for the cardnumber in the local database.
* If no borrower was found, SearchCardnumberWithLDAP is activated and an LDAP
server is configured, search for the borrower on the LDAP server.
* If a borrower was found on the LDAP server, add it to the local database.

Also:
* If the borrower was found in the local database, SearchCardnumberWithLDAP is
activated and an LDAP server is configured, the borrower is updated using the
informations on the LDAP server.
