Add information about ASCII only character requirement to https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_edit_user.py

[ehjuerrens]

The form available via

​https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_edit_user.py

has certain requirements on the input that are not clearly stated on the page itself.

Please add something like "Please use only ASCII characters here!" to the fileds "Full name" and "Surname".

The problem is that if non ASCII characters are used, the following error message is displayed and the edit operation fails:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've added the same <em>IMPORTANT</em> paragraph as the one found on the new user creation form. Thanks for spotting this.
