Description Robert Heyer

Since the usage of "/etc/univention/connector/ad/localmapping.py" the old mapping file is no longer used. In our documentation the old file is still mentioned (de/en):

* https://docs.software-univention.de/manual/5.0/de/windows/ad-connection.html#details-on-preconfigured-synchronization

Thanks for spotting this. The file is still used but

1. it's not encouraged any longer to modify it
2. it's under /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/univention/connector/ad/mapping.py (IIRC)
3. it's not treated/preserved as Debian configuration file any longer

The localmapping.py should be described instead in the docs.
