    Add e-mail, username, and search root improvements for ActiveDirectory.
    
    This change makes our ActiveDirectory support more flexible in that we
    now use the "mail" field when available for e-mail addresses and we no
    longer break when "givenName" or "sn" is not available. This also
    introduces a "Custom search root" field in settings for users who need
    to fully override the search root.
    
    This change is based on a patch by Ted Dunning, but has been modified to
    include siteconfig settings and to break less with mail.
    
    This also fixes the givenName/sn issue on LDAP.
    I don't have an ActiveDirectory setup to test. This seems pretty safe, though, and shouldn't cause regressions.

      user_info is a dict, right?
      
      how about user_info.get()
      1. We could if we just cared about the result of user_info.get('givenName'), but we need to then do [0]. There's no way get() will make our life easier there.
      2. It's not super pretty, but it's less ugly than what you have:
        
        first_name = user_info.get('givenName', [username])[0]
      3. Realized this as I was drifting off to sleep last night. Will have a new diff shortly.

      I think settings implements the dictionary protocol, too.
      1. Oops, right. Fixing.

      1. Can't for the same reason above.
