The problem
As foretold a while ago, for various reason, we are going to want to tweak the permission datastructure (because of the auth header policy evolution, or being able to tweak the label, description, logo in the portal) and all the infos are currently in LDAP for not real reason beyond the fact that this is where we store the user<->group<->ACL relationships - but all the other infos (label, url, show_tile etc.) are only meant to be used by ssowat without relying on LDAP.
This is not practical because everytime we want to change the datastructure, we need an LDAP migration, and having everything in settings would also to just simply be able to edit a flat yaml text file which has plenty of benefits.
Solution
Move the url, additional_urls, label, show_tile, and protected infos out of LDAP
