Description Moritz Muehlenhoff

We should either add a UCR variable to disable the CIFS home mount or modify the configuration so that the mount only occurs if ucc/mount/cifshome/server is set.

The ramifications turned out to be rather non-invasive; the slowdown during a non-accessible mount of the /home are hardly noticable. But this fixes a side effect of the template: I removed the fallback to ldap/server/name. This was a correct setting when univention-ucc-cifshome-mount was a package for UCS@school, but in a UCS environment not every LDAP server acts as a CIFS server.

In addition the template is now modified so that the cifsmount stanza is only written if ucc/mount/cifshome/server is set.

Also, the documentation has been updated to point out that this feature is intended for stationary systems, but not for notebooks (revision 51094)

OK: If ucc/mount/cifs/* is defined properly, a cifs home is mounted
OK: If ucc/mount/cifshome/server is not defined, pam_mount.conf.xml does not contain the mount definition
OK: No fallback to ldap/server/name
OK: Documentation update
OK: yaml
