If (after upcasing and replacing hyphens by underscores) ACCT_USER_NAME
is set to something that isn't valid in a bash variable name, the eclass
will crash: it uses ACCT_USER_NAME to construct the make.conf override
variables in pkg_pretend() and src_install().

This commit relocates the computation of the "override name" subsequent
to the definition of ACCT_USER_NAME="${PN}". In Gentoo, policy prohibits
redefinition of that variable; so nothing is changed. But in an overlay,
this allows the ebuild to define ACCT_USER_NAME to something that would
not be valid in a bash variable at the expense of violating expectations
about the override variable names.

+# naming convention, but (a) your warranty is already void if you are

+# shouldn't need make.conf overrides in an overlay.
