[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] ldap: surround user filter expression in parenthesis if not already

[Lukas Wagner]

In PVE, the `filter` attribute is surrounded in () if it is not already,
allowing "uid=test" as well as "(uid=test)" [1].

A forum user [2] just ran into this incosistency, so I decieded to adjust
the behavior.
