Add search_referrals flag to Net::LDAP calls, filter out search_referrals and query the returned server with the same credentials & settings like the initial one. Result is a merged list with the result of all servers.

@timmjd thanks for this PR. We'll need to figure out a way to test this before merging.

Patch a demo instance, sadly not as as easy as expected: Searching for a group performed by the team sync will fail due to the the search() within domain.rb will call the base search with the following options:

{:size=>1, :scope=>0, :attributes=>[], :base=>"foobar", :paged_searches_supported=>true}

where base is the LDAP group that was queried. So base seems to be in any case required to be a valid base like DC=foobar, DC=com.

So the way on how to search for groups also needs to be modified:

github-ldap-1.8.1/lib/github/ldap/instrumentation.rb:19:in `block in instrument',
activesupport-3.2.21.github6/lib/active_support/notifications.rb:123:in `block in instrument',
