When the LDAP authentication is in use, users can't update their password anymore.

There is one last case that doesn't work: when the LDAP authentication is configured to use a Direct bind (as user), an administrator can't update an account password as he doesn't know the current account's password!

As he will never know such information, we'll just disable disallow this update through Modoboa (remove the fields from the form when LDAP and direct bind seems to be a good workaround).
