[python-ldap] AD objectGUID conversion to string

[Joseph L. Casale]

As Michaels code illustrated, the value is byte encoded. Data in AD is typically
utf-16 encoded.

The "\xnn" notation is hexadecimal values, see string literals in the Python docs.

In [1]: import uuid

In [2]: s = b'\xd3\x18W|T\xc4!A\x90\xe3\xa7\xf7\xe8\xe1\xd9\xf1'

In [3]: uuid.UUID(bytes_le=s)
Out[3]: UUID('7c5718d3-c454-4121-90e3-a7f7e8e1d9f1')
