Directors and LMTP: mailAlternateAddress of same user

A very similar issue was discussed on IRC last Friday. userdb is indeed
ignored on the director, as the different process are going through the
special "director-userdb", which has nothing to do with the userdb you have
define... The documentation
(https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/user_databases_userdb/)
was updated to make it cleaner.

The solution is to use passdb instead. Use basically the same configuration as
the one you have for userdb but for passdb. For the ldap configuration itself
replace user_* by pass_*.

I hope that helps,
Vincent
