docs: direct LDAP binds are first-class, not "legacy"

Linux hosts are a primary consumer of the directory — PAM/SSSD login,
LDAP-backed sudo rules (sudoRole), and SSH public keys (openssh-lpk) —
which is exactly what the custom schemas exist for. Describe LDAPS /
StartTLS consumers as "Linux hosts and LDAP-native apps" instead of
"legacy apps" across README, DEPLOYMENT, docs, and the Dockerfile.
