[GITEA] enable system users for comment.LoadPoster

System users (Ghost, ActionsUser, etc) have a negative id and may be
the author of a comment, either because it was created by a now
deleted user or via an action using a transient token.

The GetPossibleUserByID function has special cases related to system
users and will not fail if given a negative id.
