+Enhancement: Add an opt-in LDAP connection pool
+
+Added `GetLDAPClientWithPool`, a bounded pool of authenticated LDAP
+connections, as a drop-in alternative to the existing single, long-lived
+reconnecting connection. It is disabled by default and can be enabled per
+backend via `pool_enabled` (plus `pool_size` and `pool_checkout_timeout`) on
+the auth, user and group LDAP managers, so concurrent requests no longer
+serialize on a single socket.
