Multi-Site bug in PostAuthorComboBox for Super Admins not part of Site

Description

If you have 50+ users on your site, the PostAuthorComboBox is used to display the "author" search/selector on the Post Edit screen.

For Super Admin's in Multi-Site setup, the author combo box does not display when editing a post if the admin is not part of the site.

The author lookup happens here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/a9c0050f9475857e80e813d8841052e0dde36efc/wp-includes/js/dist/editor.js#L6443-L6445

And if that fails, and the user is not part of the "authors" ( https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/a9c0050f9475857e80e813d8841052e0dde36efc/wp-includes/js/dist/editor.js#L6456 ), then the "postAuthor" remains undefined, and we get no combobox: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/a9c0050f9475857e80e813d8841052e0dde36efc/wp-includes/js/dist/editor.js#L6513-L6515
