"Hide new user profiles" setting applies to TL2 users

Sorry for the delay here. The problem was indeed that the assumption that TL2 users have posted was encoded in the logic. This has now been fixed:

### What is the problem? The site setting `hide_new_user_profiles` states: … > Hide trust level 1 or lower user profiles from the public and trust level 1 users until they post for the first time. This implies that TL2 and above should be visible. However, the actual logic encodes the assumption that TL2 have posted at some point. This fails to account for the fact that admins can manually upgrade a user without posts to a higher TL. This PR covers for that scenario.
