Obtain AD LDAP Connection and Base from dscl

Enhancement to Auto-Detect to pull LDAP Base and Connection using Open Directory Connection Detection

Obtains the connection source node for the User the SMBLastPWD is being drawn from. Then reads connection and ldap base. If this fails, it will fallback to previous behavior.

Verified on OS X 10.10 binded to Active Directory foreset at Go Daddy

Sorry for not getting to this earlier. I haven't merged it because I don't see OriginalNodeName in my dscl results.

And as designed it will fallback to your code stack. For an enterprise like
GoDaddy, our Macs are actually joined to a domain and that will actually
work. We have deployed this code on 1800 macs and it works. My job was to
make your code work for our laptops, but I did it with an eye of ensuring
backword compatibility to your code base.

There are at least 2 comments on this project that my fix will alleviate. I
strongly recommend integrating my code. I have 1800 happy testers for the
past few months. I thank you for the initial code as it made my bosses
happy, but allow my contribution to further your endeavor.

Ok, you've convinced me. I see that it'll fall back to my own code and that's good enough for me.
