Support custom converters

[goto1134]

Active Directory LDAP stores objectGUID (a unique id) as a 32 byte array.

@Entry(objectClasses = ["top", "person", "user"], base = "ou=users")
class LdapUser {

    @Id
    lateinit var id: Name

    @Attribute(name = "objectGUID", type = Attribute.Type.BINARY, readonly = true)
    lateinit var guid: UUID
}

When I use the mentioned class LdapUser with java.util.UUID guid I get the following error:

...

I added the needed converter to the spring context, but nothing changed.

Next, I added the following configuration class to make the conversion work:

@Configuration
class LdapConverterConfig {
    @Autowired
    fun converter(conversionService: GenericConversionService, ldapTemplate: LdapTemplate) {
        val conversionServiceConverterManager = ConversionServiceConverterManager(conversionService)
        (ldapTemplate.objectDirectoryMapper as DefaultObjectDirectoryMapper).setConverterManager(conversionServiceConverterManager)
    }
}

Please, support the global conversion service or add a more feasible way to specify converters. Also please add related documentation.
