📄 Description

Resolves #1800

Current behavior before PR:
If LDAP authentication is configured, webmail not working : authentication error

The problem is that dovecot uses databases to check authentication. It would be nice if LDAP is configured that the configuration install dovecot-ldap module and generate the configuration file.

I manually update dovecot configuration and everything is working.

Desired behavior after PR is merged:
dovecot LDAP config is synchronized with modoboa LDAP config
