Sometimes SAML IdPs send what _should_ be a list of values as a single
comma-separated string.
That is, we expect something using SAML's multi-valued attribute
feature:
<saml:Attribute NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"
Name="http://idp.example.org/attributes/groups" FriendlyName="groups">
<saml:AttributeValue>engineering</saml:AttributeValue>
<saml:AttributeValue>elasticsearch-admins</saml:AttributeValue>
<saml:AttributeValue>employees</saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>
but we get
<saml:Attribute NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"
Name="http://idp.example.org/attributes/groups" FriendlyName="groups">
<saml:AttributeValue>engineering,elasticsearch-admins,employees</saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>
In order to help detect these cases, this commit changes the
`toString()` on `SamlAttribute` to include the length (e.g. `(len=1)`)
at the end
