Introduce better credential and error checking to `rake gitlab:ldap:check`
It was previously possible for invalid credential errors to go unnoticed
in this task. Users would believe everything was configured correctly and
then sign in would fail with 'invalid credentials'. This adds a specific
bind check, plus catches errors connecting to the server. Also, specs :)
