Die fast in get_posts if get_user_by returns false

Description

In case a username in the URL or passed to WP_Query via any other way is invalid - such a user is not in database - the code currently casts the false value returned from get_user_by to 0 via absint - see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php#L2126

Instead of trying to query unassigned posts (with post_author equal to 0) for all invalid usernames, the query should die fast and return no posts.
