Description
We should add a default method to LdapUserSearch that supports searching for a user with the DirContext passed into it. This would allow us to provide a custom search strategy for ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider.

Research direction
Locate the LdapUserSearch interface and ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider entry points, then read their existing user-search flow and the linked issues gh-9525 and gh-2048. The work is done when LdapUserSearch supports the DirContext-aware search strategy described in the issue and ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider can use a custom strategy through it.
