changes required in TWikiUserMappings.pm required to support registration in case PasswordManager is LdapUser

For those wondering why this enhancement is needed:

The current LdapContrib does not support local user registration in TWiki. This is because the LDAP password is declared as read only, so TWiki disables user registration.

It is possible however to register users with these configure settings:

$TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::TWikiUserMapping';
$TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapUser

and this patch in twiki/lib/TWiki/Users/TWikiUserMapping.pm :
