Description

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.

Testing Done

I don't have an ActiveDirectory setup to test. This seems pretty safe, though, and shouldn't cause regressions.

Change Summary:

This also addresses part of bug 891.

user_info is a dict, right?

how about user_info.get()

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.

It's not super pretty, but it's less ugly than what you have:

first_name = user_info.get('givenName', [username])[0]

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.

Oops, right. Fixing.
