fix(panettone): handle missing DNs when looking up displaynames r/2152

* Fix find-user-by-dn raising an error condition if the search returns
  no results, return nil instead.
* Adopt strategy of defaulting to “someone” as displayname if lookup
  fails for all usage of displaynames in panettone.

I've tested this change for issues and comments created by missing
users. Adjusting the displayname seems to fix all 500 being created
by missing users both logged out and logged in.
