Public bug reported:

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/656679

In that bug, we added a warning message to the LDAP auth plugin's
"update user info on login" checkbox, that tells people it may cause
login problems in ActiveDirectory.

We subsequently pushed a patch which probably fixed the original problem
that was causing the bug's behavior. But, we forgot to remove that
warning about ActiveDirectory.

I've just verified, in testing with a user on myportfolio.school.nz,
that activating this feature did not cause problems for them. So in
light of the probably original problem being fixed, and firsthand
verification that the feature works, I think it's fair to remove this
warning.
