Hi,

While playing with a new single board computer (VisionFive 2) I
discovered that postgresql:unsafe_tests suite fails like this:

```

This happens because the developers of this SBC choose the default
username "user", which I had no reason to change.

Test merely checks that we can distinguish a username "user" from the
USER keyword. Maybe it's worth replacing "user" with "system_user"? It
is also a keyword but is a less likely choice for the OS user name.


I don't think we can protect against all possible user names. Wouldn't it be better to run the tests under an OS user with a different name, like "marmaduke"? ("user" is a truly terrible default user name).


cheers
