Deleting the LDAP mail attribute doesn't delete the Gitblit user's mail attribute

[gitblit]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 456

If the mail attribute is empty in LDAP and then I fill it and re-login on the web UI
(which apparently triggers fetching the account details) it updates the Gitblit user's
mail attribute accordingly, but if I do it the other way around i.e. the LDAP mail
attrib is already filled and I erase it the Gitblit mail attribute will not go away.

I'm pretty sure it's not a cache problem coz the user's LDAP attrib's been empty for
weeks and Gitblit's been restarted several times ever since. The old mail attrib's
still present in Gitblit.

If I delete the mapped Gitblit user and re-login, the user will appear in the Gitblit
user list without the mail address, as it should.

Also, if I add just a simple character to the LDAP mail attrib Gitblit will change
the Gitblit user's mail attrib to that right away. So it seems like an unnecessary
check somewhere in the code.

I forgot to add that I'm running 1.6.1-SNAPSHOT (8c0c9ae48f).

Hopefully fixing this for you doesn't generate complaints from other LDAP users.  LDAP
is one of the few parts of Gitblit that is a little voodoo for me.  I don't run LDAP
and it is sooo flexible/configurable that it is easy to make something work for one
group and break others.  :/

This *should* be just a straight-forward fix.

In fact, I think this also affects group membership, i.e. if I remove someone from the
LDAP git admin group, the user remains an admin in Gitblit even after re-login.

But I may be confusing things, I'll have to re-check tomorrow.

Okay, NVM the previous comment, I guess I was too quick testing this and the AD DCs
were still busy replicating the update or something. It works fine.
