   ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   
   [RANGER-3254](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3254) implemented 
a change in user/group mapping so that sync source is taken into account when a 
group name matches multiple sources. LDAP users belonging to a group like 
"CN=mygroup" will not be synced in Ranger if there is an existing "mygroup" 
that was imported by UnixUserGroupBuilder.
   
   This breaks a very common use case where posix users and groups are synced 
to the OS from an LDAP backend. In those cases, both the linux OS and LDAP/AD 
are using the same identity repository. If Ranger imported a set of users and 
groups from one sync source, and then later switches to another, group mappings 
break and users don't get all of their groups.
   
   Provide an option to treat users/groups from multiple sync sources as same 
for updating group memberships.
   
   ## How was this patch tested?
   
   Tested changes by changing sync source & restarting usersync.
