Description Florian Best

We should disallow the conflicting usernames in UDM.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #53519 +++

In Windows, there are some names that are reserved for special use (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file).
With our freely definable scheme in our import, we allow user names that can lead to such names. If this happens, no check takes place and diffuse errors occur under Windows.
Most reserved names should be rare to non-existent, with con.* I can think of several names that can lead to such user names; as in the attached ticket.
