Subject: [PATCH 25/25] IPA: Use dereference for host groups even if the
 configuration disables dereference

In some cases, it makes sense for performance reasons to disable
dereference when processing user groups. But since processing of HBAC host
groups is not much of a performance sensitive operation, we can get away
with ignoring the client side setting and always using the dereference
branch if the server supports the dereference call.
