Code that needs to store an actor ID in the database to
represent a UserIdentity, or needs to construct a UserIdentity based on
an actor ID loaded from the database, should use the ActorNormalization
service.
Note: The getActorId() method is removed from the UserIdentity interface,
but all concrete classes continue to support it for now.
UsererIdentityValue::getActorId() is hard deprecated and should
be removed in 1.37. It always returns 0.
User::getActorId() is not deprecated at this point.

The findActorIdByName method is intended to be used when we need to
select by actor ID, but all we have is a user name. We can't use
findActorId(), since it requires a UserIdentity, which would needlessly
force us to look up a user ID, resulting in two queries.

This introduces a specialized SelectQueryBuilder for
queries related to actor table. So far it's fairly basic,
but in future it is intended to grow.
This patch only introduces the new abstraction, using
it will be separated into separate patches.
