Title: LDAP Authentication Improvements

I've made two improvements to LDAP authentication:

1] Added the ability to specify bind credentials (so that it can authenticate against active directory)
2] Added the ability to perform a "subtree" search in the directory (where the distinguishedNames specify the root of the searched subtree).

This pull request has only been tested against version 2.6.4, specifically the 2.6.4 tag in the subversion repo on sourceforge. There are differences, between svn and git, however. I can also provide the actual patch I'm using against the subversion 2.6.4 tag if there's an insurmountable gap when jumping to git.

Also, I had no idea what to do about non-English localizations, so I didn't do anything. That's probably not right, but I'll wait on feedback.
