Description

When we are connecting across the internet to LDAP servers, we should be using LDAPS if at all possible.

I propose adding another variable to the LDAP config and changing C4::Auth_with_ldap to be able to do LDAP or LDAPS

Net::LDAPS is functionally equivalent to Net::LDAP so will require minimal code changes.

I propose to use a conditional require so a new mandatory dependency is not added
