[JENKINS-3404] mix LDAP and local Hudson users

Would it be possible to add the following feature: have users in both LDAP and

the the local Hudson database?

We currently have most of our users in LDAP, but a few are not in AD (student

employees, people in other OUs). For these users, we would like to add them as

local Hudson users, while maintaining the LDAP users. Basically, we want to mix

the two: LDAP and local Hudson users. Thanks in advance.

Also, the subcomponent for this issue is not correct; but it wouldn't let me

submit this without choosing one. Sorry!

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the ldap-plugin authentication and user-management entry points, then review the unresolved discussion to define how LDAP and local Hudson users should coexist; done means both user sources can be used together without disrupting existing LDAP users.
