util: Add better user lookup functions
When looking up users in fscrypt, we often want to proceed even if the
requested uid doesn't appear to be a valid user on the system. This
mainly occurs when a user is deleted, but they still have a login
protector on disk.
Thus, GetUser() with a bad uid creates a fake user with a pretty
placeholder name. The corresponding call sites of util.EffectiveUser are
changed (often simplifying logic). Various documentation is updated and
typos are fixed.
