Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When LDAP users having access to Nextcloud change often, or a lot of them are removed, it can be tedious to delete remnants users one by one.

Describe the solution you'd like
A command occ ldap:delete-remnants which lists remants, ask confirmation and then calls the same procedure as occ user:delete on each remnant.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing occ LDAP commands and the occ user:delete command to identify how LDAP remnants are listed and how deletion is performed. The requested command should list remnants, ask for confirmation, and apply the same deletion procedure to each one; verify its behavior against both no-remnant and multiple-remnant cases.
