/**
  @file
  @brief Returns a userid according to session context
  @details In a workspace session, a user is generally represented by <code>
    &sysuserid</code> or <code>SYS_COMPUTE_SESSION_OWNER</code> if it exists.
    In a Stored Process session, <code>&sysuserid</code>
    resolves to a system account (default=sassrv) and instead there are several
    metadata username variables to choose from (_metauser, _metaperson
    ,_username, _secureusername).  The OS account is represented by
    <code> _secureusername</code> whilst the metadata account is under <code>
    _metaperson</code>.

        %let user= %mf_getUser();
        %put &user;

  @param type - do not use, may be deprecated in a future release

  @return SYSUSERID (if workspace server)
  @return _METAPERSON (if stored process server)
  @return SYS_COMPUTE_SESSION_OWNER (if Viya compute session)
