This fix tries to address the issue raised in #39353 where
docker crash when creating namespaces with UID in /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid.
The issue was that, mapping to
/etc/sub[u,g]id
in docker does notallow numeric ID.
This fix fixes the issue by probing other combinations (uid:groupname, username:gid, uid:gid)
when normal username:groupname fails.
This fix fixes #39353.
