maziggy 848f558105 LDAP: POSIX primary group support and default fallback group
Two related LDAP authentication changes.

  Fix: POSIX primary group membership was ignored. authenticate_ldap_user
  only searched for posixGroup entries via memberUid (supplementary
  groups). A user's primary group — referenced by the gidNumber attribute
  on the user object matching gidNumber on a posixGroup — was never
  resolved, so users whose role came from their primary group landed
  without the expected permissions. The authenticator now runs a second
  search for posixGroup entries whose gidNumber matches the user's
  primary gidNumber, then dedupes DNs case-insensitively before passing
  the list to resolve_group_mapping (LDAP DNs are case-insensitive by
  spec).

  New feature: ldap_default_group setting. Settings → Authentication →
  LDAP → Advanced has a new "Default group" selector. When an LDAP user
  authenticates but is not listed in any mapped LDAP group, they are
  assigned to this fallback group instead of being left with no groups
  (and therefore no permissions). A warning is logged each time the
  fallback is applied so admins can spot missing group assignments.
  Empty setting preserves the old behavior.

  Tests: added 4 mocked authenticate_ldap_user tests covering primary
  gidNumber lookup, dedupe of overlapping memberUid+primary gid matches,
  case-insensitive DN dedupe, and the guard when a user entry has no
  gidNumber attribute. Also extended the existing parse_ldap_config tests
  to cover the new default_group field.

  Backend: ldap_service.py (primary group + dedupe + default_group
  field), schemas/settings.py (schema field), api/routes/auth.py
  (fallback wiring in _provision_ldap_user / _sync_ldap_user).

  Frontend: LDAPSettings.tsx default-group dropdown in the Advanced
  collapsible, api/client.ts type field, new i18n keys in all 7 locales
  (defaultGroup, defaultGroupNone, defaultGroupHint).
