Additional LDAP Authentication Methods (#1287)

This patch allows anonymous and user based authentication to LDAP
servers. This change is based on a patch against bn-ldap-authentication:

-  https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/bn-ldap-authentication/pull/2

The patch introduces a new environment variable `LDAP_AUTH` which
controls the authentication method used against the LDAP server:

- `anonymous` enables an anonymous bind to the LDAP with no password
  being used.

- `user` uses the user's own credentials to search for his data,
  enabling authenticated login to LDAP without the need for a user with
  global read privileges.

The default still remains at using a bind user, allowing for a seamless
upgrade path from the previous version.

This fixes #1082
