Integration with LDAP: Default search_limit increased to 256 with configurable option

Official CH changelog text
Integration with LDAP: increased the default value of search_limit to 256, and added LDAP server config option to change that to an arbitrary value. Closes: #42276. #42461 (Vasily Nemkov).
LDAP Integration Enhancement: Increased the default search_limit to 256 and added a new LDAP server configuration option to customize this limit to any desired value.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the limitation of the default LDAP search_limit being too low for some deployments. By increasing the default value and allowing customization, users can perform larger LDAP queries without encountering search limit issues, improving flexibility and integration robustness.

How to use it

To use this feature, configure the search_limit parameter in the LDAP server settings within the ClickHouse configuration file. The default value is now 256, but it can be changed to any arbitrary integer value as needed to suit your LDAP server requirements.
