Removes the dreaded DN regex, instead introducing a optional
connect/bind check on creation/update, aligning it with the way PBS does
it.

Additionally, it has the benefit that instead of letting a sync fail on
the first try due to e.g. bad bind credentials, it gives the user some
direct feedback when trying to add/update a LDAP realm, if enabled.

Should be rather a corner case, but it's the easiest way for us to
accomodate and the most versatile for users needing this.

This is part of the result of a previous discussion [0], and the same
approach is already implemented for PBS [1].

N.B.: Needs a version bump of libpve-common-perl for the base properties
parameter on {create,update}Schema().

Changes v2 -> v3:
  * Move 'check-connection' out of schema definition to extra param
    Pointed out by Wolfgang, it should not be part of the (stored)
    config schema if never stored. [2]

Changes v1 -> v2:
  * Do not store the 'check-connection' parameter in the realm config

The decision to put this behind an optional (off-by-default) parameter
was made during an off-list discussion with Lukas. The summary of that
can be found as a follow-up on the previous series [3] [4].

Note that the `base_dn`/`group_dn` now goes completely unvalided - but
again, that is how it works in PBS.
