fix: publish plain LDAP (389) to the host so setup.sh can reach the directory (v1.39.0) (#165)

docker-compose only published LDAPS (636); plain LDAP (389) was not mapped, so
the stack host's own enrollment (ldap://localhost:389) couldn't reach the LDAP
server. Now both 389 + 636 are published (bind 0.0.0.0; LDAP_BIND/LDAPS_BIND to
lock to host). README updated.
