Support load user entity by name process callback

Problem/Motivation

Unless a user already exists in a site import, which precludes the use case of installing content into an empty database, the UID is unknown at the time of content definition. Support needs to be added to reference users for author assignment using identifiers known or assignable at the time of defining content in the import files.

Proposed resolution

Add an event subscriber to process Node imports and assign authors with additional processing to expand support of identifiers to the following:

  • UID
  • UUID
  • User Name

API changes

Nodes in import content may be assigned authors by defining a UID, UUID, or user name in the Node's uid attribute using the following format:

- entity: node
  type: article
  uid: <user_id>|<uuid>|<username>

    Here an alternative patch, generalizing to apply it not only to Node entities, but any EntityOwnerInterface.
    This is useful on entities like profile module entities, that are not nodes but have ownership.
    Additionally, an interdiff, via git for easier read on the rename.
