[Bug]: Display to "999+" when users limit is reached in Accounts

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

• Hardcoded limit COUNT_LIMIT_FOR_SUBADMINS = 999 in /apps/settings/lib/Controller/UsersController.php:60
• When user is Group Admin (subadmin), the system intentionally stops counting at 999 users for performance reasons
• UsersController.php:165 calls countUsersAndDisabledUsersOfGroups() with this 999 limit

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Nextcloud user with "Group Admin" privileges for a group containing > 999 users (e.g. 5000 or more).
2. Log in as the Group Admin.
3. Go to "Accounts"

Expected behavior

Expected behavior

The number of users at "All accounts" shown in the left-hand sidebar should reflect the actual number of users the Group Admin can browse (e.g. "5241").

Actual behavior

The sidebar always shows "All accounts 999", even though the Group Admin can browse through more than 999 users without any issue.

Additional info

Proposed fix:

• display to "999+" when limit is reached (minimal code change)
• make limit configurable via system config (might affect perfs if big)
