Expand on use of separate name attributes in LDAP

What does this MR do?

The name attribute in LDAP fetches the user's visible name in profiles but often the ideal value for this is split between two different fields that are configurable via the use of first_name and last_name.

The docs were not very clear on how to force use of the latter (split) configuration over name, doable by intentionally setting it to something non-existent.

This change adds minor notes to first_name and last_name config descriptions, and adds an example to name that shows how to force the use of the split name sources.
