The UID/GID allocation in systemd itself (for DynamicUser=1) and in
systemd-nspawn (for --private-users=) both check NSS before they take
a UID/GID. Hence, if LDAP users live in the same range we use it makes
the space scarcer, but it shouldn't cause conflicts — as long as
everything is properly registered in NSS.

"adduser" registers from the range 1000…60000 on Fedora by
default. DynamicUser=1 uses the range 61184…65519. systemd-nspawn uses
524288…1879048191. So these at least do not overlap.
