[BUGFIX] [BREAKING] Set username retrieved from authentication backend in session. (#687)

* [BUGFIX] Set username retrieved from authentication backend in session.

In some setups, binding is case insensitive but Authelia is case
sensitive and therefore need the actual username as stored in the
authentication backend in order for Authelia to work correctly.

Fixes #561.

* Use uid attribute as unique user identifier in suites.

* Fix the integration tests.

* Update config.template.yml

* Compute user filter based on username attribute and users_filter.

The filter provided in users_filter is now combined with a filter
based on the username attribute to perform the LDAP search query
finding a user object from the username.

* Fix LDAP based integration tests.

* Update `users_filter` reference examples

+* `logs_level` configuration key has been renamed to `log_level`.
+* `users_filter` was a search pattern for a given user with the `{0}` matcher replaced with the
+actual username. In v4.7.0, `username_attribute` has been introduced. Consequently, the computed
+user filter utilised by the LDAP search query is a combination of filters based on the
+`username_attribute` and `users_filter`. `users_filter` now reduces the scope of users targeted by
+the LDAP search query. For instance if `username_attribute` is set to `uid` and `users_filter` is
+set to `(objectClass=person)` then the computed filter is `(&(uid=john)(objectClass=person))`.

-#
-# Access control is a list of rules defining the authorizations applied for one
-# resource to users or group of users.
-#
-# If 'access_control' is not defined, ACL rules are disabled and the `bypass`
-# rule is applied, i.e., access is allowed to anyone. Otherwise restrictions follow
-# the rules defined.
-#
-# Note: One can use the wildcard * to match any subdomain.
-# It must stand at the beginning of the pattern. (example: *.mydomain.com)
-#
-# Note: You must put patterns containing wildcards between simple quotes for the YAML
-# to be syntaxically correct.
-#
-# Definition: A `rule` is an object with the following keys: `domain`, `subject`,
-# `policy` and `resources`.
-#
-# - `domain` defines which domain or set of domains the rule applies to.
-#
-# - `subject` defines the subject to apply authorizations to. This parameter is
-#    optional and matching any user if not provided. If provided, the parameter
-#    represents either a user or a group. It should be of the form 'user:<username>'
-#    or 'group:<groupname>'.
-#
-# - `policy` is the policy to apply to resources. It must be either `bypass`,
-#   `one_factor`, `two_factor` or `deny`.
-#
-# - `resources` is a list of regular expressions that matches a set of resources to
-#    apply the policy to. This parameter is optional and matches any resource if not
-#    provided.
-#
-# Note: the order of the rules is important. The first policy matching
-# (domain, resource, subject) applies.
