Starting in macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS daemon UIDs are encroaching on our default UIDs of 301-332. This commit relocates our range up to avoid clashing with the current UIDs of 301-304 and buy us a little time while still leaving headroom for people installing more than 32 users.

Motivation
Starting in macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS daemon UIDs are encroaching on our default UIDs of 301-332. This commit relocates our range up to avoid clashing with the current UIDs of 301-304 and buy us a little time while still leaving headroom for people installing more than 32 users.
It also adopts GID 350 (same as first UID), since @emilazy pointed out that this will keep our build group from showing up in the Users & Groups interface. (See #10919 (comment))
