Fix race in first-time login user creation (#96)

syncUserFromAuthelia() did a plain check-then-insert with no
transaction, so two simultaneous first-visit requests for the same
brand-new user (e.g. two tabs opened right after SSO login) could
race: the second INSERT hits users.username's UNIQUE KEY, which
mysqli throws on (uncaught, PHP 8.1+ default report mode) rather than
returning false. Switched to INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
followed by a re-fetch by username, so the losing request updates the
winner's row instead of throwing.
