Create a galera user that will run the daemon instead.

Note that the underscore prefix for the user is a Debian recommendation and so may not be relevant for other distro. See: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#users-and-groups

Note that https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/galera-4/-/merge_requests/8 was merged in Debian. Please merge this upstream as well to avoid drift in Debian packaging.

Debian has had this for over 1.5 years already. Please merge this upstream as well to avoid drift in Debian packaging.
