Patch for net-ldap downgrade to resolve multi ldap host support

Adil Farrukh requested to merge cherry-pick-d0c630e1 into 16-1-stable-ee

What does this MR do and why?

Describe in detail what merge request is being backported and why The net-ldap gem was updated from version 0.17.1 to 0.18.0 in Gitlab version 16.1 to take advantage of a recent SNI support capability added to the library itself. A bug was later identified within the updated version of library Multiple servers in hosts LDAP configuration fails (#416226 - closed) where multiple LDAP hosts support is broken.

We are working with the maintainer of net-ldap to release a newer version with the fix included however that may take some time, and in the interim it's important to restore the multi host support for our users, by downgrading the lib version back. This was already done on 16.2 via Downgrade net-ldap (!125855 - merged)
