LDAP server docs

From

So once again I forgot about the fact that you can specify multiple
LDAP server in our ldapserver parameter (because both openldap and
winldap accept a space separated list).

Any objections to just applying the attached docs patch?

I think the term "space" might be more clear than "blank" here.  Perhaps:

Names or IP addresses of LDAP servers to connect to.  Multiple servers
may be specified, separated by spaces.

"space-separated list" is more in keeping with our usual terminology,
I think, but otherwise please do.

FWIW, the use of the word blank was just because I copied it off the
ldap manpage. I agree space is better :-)
