📄 Description

Both LDAP and OAuth registration checked user count before insert to determine whether to assign admin role. With multiple workers, concurrent first-user registrations could each see zero users and both create admin accounts.

Applies the insert-first-check-after pattern already used by signup_handler: insert with DEFAULT_USER_ROLE, then atomically check get_num_users()==1 and promote only the sole user to admin.
