Item8049: wikinameToEmails() not resolved properly.

The error is two-fold:

First, there is a plain error in the LdapContrib user mapper that did not consider the cases the wikinameToEmails() function is called with a login or a group name.

Second, nor did the standard mapper. However, the reason for its failure is in Foswiki::Users.pm as it tries to get the correct mapper for a given wikiname. It fails to use the correct mapper if Foswiki::Users::findUserByWikiName() is called with a login name.

Here's the patch. Please check:

Actually, instead of forcing login names to work on functions that take a wiki name - like findUserByWikiName() is wrong. And this never worked. As a consequence the Func docu needs to be changed only.
