Context

#6942

At the moment, the ACL editor allows to add ACLs to non-registered users, which will simply be discarded by the server and hence have no effect. This is quite confusing.

Description

The ACL editor should make it visually clear that ACLs can only be configured for registered users. This could be done by either only listing registered user (making it clear that other users aren't shown because they are not registered) or non-registered users could be appear in the list but be highlighted in a way to make them distinct from registered users.

Another possibility would be to detect if one wants to configure ACL for a non-registered user and offer a prompt to register this user now, before adding them to the ACL list.

Hi! I’m new to contributing to Mumble.
I’d like to work on this issue if nobody else is currently working on it.
If that’s okay, I’ll start implementing it and open a PR.
