[Dovecot] dovecot auth against AD on samba4

[Bob Miller]

I don't have it in production yet because there are other things I am
still trying to add to samba4, but my test server has dovecot
authenticating against samba4.  Without openchange or any other
non-native mechanism.  

Dovecot supports authenticating against ldap, the settings are in your
auth-ldap.conf file.  Samba4/Active Directory is just another ldap
implementation.  between the config files and the wiki, I believe all
the documentation you need is there...
