Christophe Bliard 4352424e7d Update LDAP group sync docs and UI to reflect forward lookup support
- Remove the memberOf-only restriction from docs, UI help text, and FAQ;
  both reverse lookup (memberOf) and forward lookup (Group member
  attribute) are now supported
- Document the new "Group member attribute" filter field, including when
  to use forward vs reverse lookup
- Clarify that forward lookup is only available via synchronized filters,
  not manually-created synchronized groups
- Rename "Synchronize" button to "Discover LDAP groups" to make clear it
  only runs group discovery (phase 1), not member synchronization
- Document that the Discover LDAP groups button does not sync members;
  point to the rake task for a full manual sync
- Expand troubleshooting: login attribute mismatch, missing/empty
  required attributes
- Replace packaged-installation-specific rake command with
  installation-agnostic form; link to console setup docs
- Clarify Enterprise cloud availability and recommend SAML/SCIM as
  more secure alternatives when LDAP exposure to the internet is
  undesirable
- Fix grammar, double spaces, and stale phrasing throughout
