Fails to start if user from getpass.getuser can't run it. #129

Bug description

See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302164

On jupyter-rsession-proxy 2 and up we are getting errors when trying to start rstudio because it is being run from the user from getpass.getuser(). Jupyterhub adds a USER variable with the username from the authenticator, but that user is not a linux user in our case. All pods use the same linux user to keep access to shared storage. Since the user does not exist we get an error in the form 

ERROR Could not find details for server user 'Chicocvenancio'; LOGGED FROM: virtual rstudio::core::ProgramStatus rstudio::server::Options::read(int, char* const*, std::ostream&) src/cpp/server/ServerOptions.cpp:299

Expected behaviour

Grab the user default from NB_USER instead of USER.
