fix potential unwarranted memberships in nested groups from LDAP

- the issue was present only when using PHP based resolving of nested
  group members. Normally nested members are common in AD (and Samba4) and
  are resolved per LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN by default
- resolving nested members is recursive
- when the cache entry was created it happend for intermediate groups, too,
  containing members from the parent group
- the check was added to only cache the root group with its members
- a runtime cache stores intermediate ldap read results
