Authenticate against Active Directory - LDAP (my version)

This is based on [snippet 501](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/501/), with some corrections: 1. if user doesn't exist and AD.authenticate passes, then create new user - don't store password - prevent default django auth backend authentication 2. if user exists and AD.authenticate passes - django User object is updated 3. various error handling 4. fixes (some mentioned in original snippet) 5. some settings removed from settings to backend module 6. other changes (ADUser class, re-indent, logging etc.) 7. ignores problem with search_ext_s (DSID-0C090627) 8. caching connection - when invalid then re-connect and try again Note that there is also ldaps:// (SSL version) django auth backend on [snippet 901](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/901/). Possible improvements: 1. define new settings param - use secured - then LDAPS (snippet 901) 2. define new settings extra ldap options - e.g. protocol version 3. fetch more data from AD - fill in user data - maybe to make this configurable to be able to update user.get_profile() data too (some settings that has mapping AD-data -> User/UserProfile data)
