Description
From times to times, people get confused about the fact that setting the LDAP quota attribute or the LDAP default quota will override any quota in the user management page.
The documentation has a note about this, see https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_user/user_auth_ldap.html and search for "Quota Field".
Now to make this clearer and easy to see, we should:
- docs: move the warning into a warning/note block for "Quota Field"
- docs: add the warning also for "Quota Default"
- add a similar hint for both fields in the LDAP wizard
- also add such hint in the user settings page ? (ideal would be to prevent changing the quota there for LDAP users, but that's more complicated as the UI needs to know about such users)
Thoughts @blizzz ?

Research direction
Start with the linked LDAP documentation and its “Quota Field” and “Quota Default” sections, then trace the LDAP wizard fields and the user settings quota page. The checked documentation work is complete; done means the wizard clearly warns that LDAP quota values override user-management quotas, with the user-settings hint resolved or explicitly scoped.
