Subject: [PATCH] user-util: Allow names starting with a digit

In 1a29610f5fa1bcb2eeb37d2c6b79d8d1a6dbb865 the change inadvertedly
disabled names with digit as the first character. This follow-up change
allows a digit as the first character in compat mode.

Fixes: #15141
(cherry picked from commit 93c23c9297e48e594785e0bb9c51504aae5fbe3e)
