Subject: [PATCH] ci: create the iOS backend's probe user before its first
 named command

A client started with -s gives that server every role, names included, only to the users that exist when it starts, so the name probe's first connect plan on a new database failed with NO_NAME_SERVERS (run 38904976359). The user is now created by a plain run first, as every other peer is and as desktop's backend does.
