Enhancement of LdapContrib with disabling casesensitivity

We faced a lot of problems with Active Directory authentication since AD desktop logins (e.g. Windows login screen) are case INsensitive. Frequently users are used to type in there loginattribute in lc, but the loginattribute is stored uc. Our idea is to create a variable "casesensitivity" in the LdapContrib to provide both case insenstive and sensitive logins.

We created a patch for the LdapContrib.pm file. Aditional patches for the login manger LdapApacheLogin.pm will be placed here soon. We also created a new LdapTemplateLogin manager to handle lc logins.
