…tantly expected e.g. during useradm operations like edit_user, delete_user, etc. and therefore difficult to do without when adding test coverage a.o. in #561. Introduce two more common DNs used across tests: Other User and No Such User. Polish a long comment with some typos and incomplete ending.

…plicity. Add unit tests for edit_user both in the default and UUID format setup to cover more of the ground needed for supporting the latter.

Extend the existing skeleton to support using UUID as the name of the user home dir with just symlinks to the X509 form in order to ease updating any of the X509 fields without renaming entire user home.
First step is to add unit test coverage of the relevant helpers to narrow down what works already and what is still missing.
Additional work is required if we also want e.g. the participation in VGrids to be independent of such X509 field updates.
NOTE: Integrates #562, and #563 to address some issues discovered during development of the new unit tests. We probably want to merge them and rebase here before merging this PR.
