Nicely handle missing user in collaborations (#17049)

* Nicely handle missing user in collaborations

It is possible to have a collaboration in a repository which refers to a no-longer
existing user. This causes the repository transfer to fail with an unusual error.

This PR makes `repo.getCollaborators()` nicely handle the missing user by ghosting
the collaboration but also adds consistency check. It also adds an
Access consistency check.

Fix #17044
