Direct the user to python-ldap installation docs in the README
As demonstrated by the 230 upvotes and 180k+ views on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4768446/i-cant-install-python-ldap - it doesn't usually install the first time. As the README didn't mention the prerequisites, I immediately turned to Google after encountering an error, which was less helpful than the official docs. (I moved the Python compatibility info to another section, as it looked out of place after I added the link to python-ldap installation instructions.)
