Removes the LDAP bind-only service account type in favor of a single
Unix/POSIX account model, surfaced in a new Users > Service Accounts tab.
Adds a multi-valued `manager` field to every account (defaults to the
creator, editable, and grants edit rights on the accounts a person manages
without needing app_sso_admin). homeDirectory and loginShell are now
editable from the profile edit form.
Bumps to v1.1.7.

The Integrations page's Service Accounts (bind-only, organizationalRole)
don't cover the other real use case: an account something actually runs
as on a Linux host -- a media manager, a torrent client, Emby -- with a
real uidNumber/gidNumber that owns files, and a group other accounts
join for write access (e.g. a `stuff_manager` group granting write
rights to a media library). That needs a real posixAccount, which the
bind-only model can't be.
- New well-known group `app_sso_service_account`, seeded the same way as
app_sso_admin/app_sso_invite/app_sso_oauth_admin (docker-entrypoint.sh,
ops/ldap-setup.sh). Not a permission gate -- a marker.
- "Add new user" form gets a "This is a service account" checkbox: swaps
the person-shaped fields (first/last name, birthday, ToS agreement)
for a single account-name field, since none of those make sense for a
non-person account. On create, the route adds the user to
app_sso_service_account.
- User.listDetail() annotates each user with isServiceAccount (checked
against the marker group's member list once per call, not the memberof
overlay's reverse attribute -- not reliably returned by every LDAP
server this app might point at, confirmed against a real external
directory during testing). Users page shows a "service" badge.
- Notification broadcasts (filter_type=all/all_active) exclude service
accounts by default -- nobody reads mail as `stuff_manager`.
- Fixed a real, previously-unrelated bug this surfaced: addPosixAccount
unconditionally set `mail: data.mail` in the LDAP entry even when
undefined, and ldapts/slapd reject an attribute given an explicit
undefined value ("no values for attribute type") rather than treating
it as absent. This meant creating ANY user without an email already
failed outright -- not something a service account (which commonly has
no real mailbox) could route around. Made mail conditional, matching
how mobile/sshPublicKey/dob already work.
- docs/ldap.md now explains both kinds of service account side by side
and when to use which.
Verified end-to-end against a real external LDAP server (not a local
sandbox): created a service account with no email, confirmed it's
correctly flagged and excluded from broadcast recipient resolution,
confirmed a normal user is unaffected, confirmed the code degrades
gracefully if the marker group doesn't exist yet (pre-upgrade
deployments).

- OAuth Apps and LDAP Info are both "how do other apps/hosts plug into
this SSO" concerns -- merged into a single /integrations page with
tabs, replacing the two separate nav items with one. /oauth-clients
and /ldap-info 301-redirect there for compat.
- Add a Service Accounts section under the LDAP tab: bind-only LDAP
identities (organizationalRole + simpleSecurityObject, no
posixAccount) for apps/hosts, as opposed to real people. Create,
rotate password, and delete, all from the UI -- previously the only
such account (theta-env's bootstrap-created cn=ldapclient) was
invisible to the Users page entirely (filtered out by
conf.ldap.userFilter) and had no GUI way to see or rotate it; the new
ServiceAccount model uses the exact same objectClasses bootstrap.js
already creates cn=ldapclient with, so it recognizes and manages that
account too, not just ones created through this UI.
- The ldap-client bash snippet now points at "create one under Service
Accounts above" instead of a bare textual example.
Verified against a real LDAP server (not just the dev sandbox's usual
unreachable one): created a service account, confirmed it binds
successfully with the generated password, rotated its password, and
deleted it.
