feat: Active Directory LDAP group support

[tilwegener]

Summary

This PR adds a configurable LDAP group search filter. It allows Tinyauth to retrieve direct and nested Microsoft Active Directory groups while keeping the existing LLDAP/OpenLDAP behavior as default.

Example for Active Directory:

(&(objectClass=group)(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=%s))
Retrieved groups are available through:

LDAP group ACLs
The Remote-Groups header
The OIDC groups claim

Existing installations remain unaffected unless the new group filter is explicitly configured.

- Line 203: Update GetUserGroups to read the group-membership LDAP filter from
configuration, defaulting to the previous OpenLDAP expression using
groupOfUniqueNames and uniqueMember. Only use the Active Directory
objectClass=group/member filter with LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN when explicitly
configured, preserving existing behavior for LLDAP/OpenLDAP providers.

GroupSearchFilter in NewDefaultConfiguration, using objectClass=group with the
