#72529: Macports created user might appear in Fast User Switching menu

I've installed the PostgreSQL-12 server and now I have that user in my
Fast User Switching menu. See screendump.
The user does not show up in the Users & Groups System Settings.
I'm running macOS Sequoia 15, I ''think'' this was also the case in macOS
14.
Adding the `dsAttrTypeNative:IsHidden` = YES attribute to the user removes
it (after restart) from the menu. See screendumps.
Would it be a good idea to add this attribute by default in portutil.tcl
around line [[https://github.com/macports/macports-
base/blob/bcc2973ad42375989b7b929f0da515387265a8fd/src/port1.0/portutil.tcl#L2424|2424]]?
I think this is where all users are added when needed?
