Thanks, this passes the test. And of course the patch is correct, but after some more
testing, I wonder if we should at least for one release default to
fallback_homedir=$something at least for the AD provider. Because now with the completely
minimal AD provider configuration (no POSIX attrs, ID mapping only) I can't log in
with an AD user:
```
$ getent passwd administrator(a)win.trust.test
administrator@win.trust.test:*:215000500:215000513:Administrator::/bin/bash
$ su - administrator(a)win.trust.test
su: user administrator(a)win.trust.test does not exist
```
Note that this is minimal config, realmd already adds fallback_homedir.
Or at least we should IMO add some backwards compatible handling when this patch makes it
to fedora or RHEL otherwise admins might not be happy. From purely upstream point of view
this change is probably OK with me.
