[PATCH] clarification of fallthrough in mod_authnz_ldap

I wanted to propose a point of clarification to the documentation
surrounding the authorization phase described for mod_authnz_ldap.
This point is clarified a little further down in the file but could
stand to be more clear outside of the specific place it is mentioned.

Index: manual/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.xml
