AD: Add a new option to turn off GC lookups

SSSD now defaults to using GC by default. For some environments, for
instance those that don't or can't replicate the POSIX attributes to
Global Catalog, this might not be desirable.

This patch introduces a new option ad_enable_gc, that is enabled by
default. Setting this option to false makes the SSSD contact only the
LDAP port of AD DCs.
