Mostly in regards to unicode string handling.

Ldap search results returns "keys" in utf-8, but values are often in
bytes. stringify values after querying so that results and cache
aren't treated differently.

Open files in text mode instead of binary mode.

SafeConfigParser was renamed to ConfigParser in python3.

LOG.warn is deprecated, change to "LOG.warning" to avoid deprecation
output messages.

... such as pass from the passwordstore

unfortunately the ldap module still seems to depend on C source as shows the

allow setting password by passing command

Missing config keys, unsafe LDAP filters, and bad XDG paths broke runs.
Add get() fallbacks; escape filter chars; limit attrs; decode safely.
Create XDG config/cache dirs; use simple_bind_s; handle unbind.
Return only addresses for mutt; set stdout encoding; log errors.

Packaging was outdated; setup.py blocked modern PEP 517 builds.
Add pyproject.toml with metadata; remove setup.py; define script.
