Description
Can we please get a config option to disable the behavior added in #2640 ASAP?
It took me like 3 hours to debug why some LDAP Users are members in a group where they are not supposed to be, just to find this undocumented feature, in combination with some gidnumber collisions used by other different systems causing people to be added to groups in our Nextcloud instance where they are not supposed to be.
We need to disable this behavior.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the behavior introduced in issue #2640 and locating the LDAP gidnumber handling in Nextcloud Server. Define how the new configuration option disables that behavior, then verify it prevents unintended group membership when gidnumber collisions occur.
