ldap: Fix password prompt when configured only to populate data.

Previously, the logic for determining whether to provide an LDAP
password prompt on the registration page was incorrectly including it
if any LDAP authentication was backend enabled, even if LDAP was
configured with the populate-only backend that is not responsible for
authentication (just for filling in name and custom profile fields).

We fix this by correcting the conditional, and add a test.

There's still follow-up work to do here: We may still end up
presenting a registration form in situations where it's useless
because we got all the data from SAML + LDAP.  But that's for a future
issue.

This fixes a bug reported in zulip#13275.
