Major new feature reported by Kai Zheng and fixed by Dapeng Sun <br>
<b>Add posixGroups support for LDAP groups mapping service</b><br>
<blockquote>Add posixGroups support for LDAP groups mapping service. The change in LDAPGroupMapping is compatible with previous scenario. In LDAP, the group mapping between {{posixAccount}} and {{posixGroup}} is different from the general LDAPGroupMapping, one of the differences is the {{"memberUid"}} will be used to mapping {{posixAccount}} and {{posixGroup}}. The feature will handle the mapping in internal when configuration {{hadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.search.filter.user}} is set as "posixAccount" and {{hadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.search.filter.group}} is "posixGroup".</blockquote></li>
