UserAccessControlHandler::checkAccess() fails to add a user cache context where needed

Problem/Motivation

UserAccessControlHandler::checkAccess() has this code:

else if ($account->id() == $entity->id()) {
  return AccessResult::allowed()->cachePerUser();
}
...
return AccessResult::neutral();

The problem with this is that the cachePerUser() is not added when there is no match (checking whether user1 can view user2's profile), which allows the neutral() result to be cached across users, but then the cache can be primed with user1, and then user2 can't view his own profile.

Proposed resolution

Use the allowedIf() syntax which allows the ->cachePerUser(); to be associated in either case. This is the same approach as is done for the 'update' and 'delete' operations.
