Fix - Wrong preselected user in dynamic form (#1316)

* Removed parsing the user ID from default value, because the ID is no longer in the peoplePicker default value

* changed the 2 methods so that they do what the name intends - they return the default value for the peoplepicker with the UPN and not the ID

* Get Single User Field the same way as the multiple users

* rewrite getUserUPNById to getUserUPNFromFieldValue for single user values
