Steps to reproduce

1. Setup OpenLDAP with Nextcloud
2. Add jpegPhoto to LDAP users (~20-30 KB, ~600x600 for HiDPI screens) -> Refresh tool viewing LDAP to confirm full quality is in LDAP
3. Login to Nextcloud with any of these users to force LDAP sync of avatar

Expected behaviour

5. Visit Nextcloud user settings page to see profile photo —> See avatar that is a high quality resize of what was pulled from LDAP If Nextcloud has the ldap_write_support module enabled (with avatar updating setting enabled), and if Nextcloud has write access to OpenLDAP:
6. Go back to your viewing tool for OpenLDAP and check jpegPhoto for users —> View that the jpegPhoto was not changed just because Nextcloud downloaded and resized it

Actual behaviour

5. Visit Nextcloud user settings page to see profile photo —> View low quality and pixelated version of avatar If Nextcloud has the ldap_write_support module enabled (with avatar updating setting enabled), and if Nextcloud has write access to OpenLDAP:
6. Go back to your viewing tool for OpenLDAP and check jpegPhoto for users —> View that the jpegPhoto was updated and made low quality
