SMB share auxiliary parameter user variable gets filtered in 11.3?

Description

in old 11.2u8 we had a home share configured by NOT using the home share check box, instead using a custom name "Privat" as share name and adding "path = /mnt/vol1/Privat/%U" in auxiliary parameters.

after upgrading to 11.3 accessing \\server\Privat now does NOT lead to your personal home directory, instead you see ALL homes. checking with "testparm" reveals the problem, the path parameter as entered in auxiliary parameters apparently gets filtered, the "/%U" is removed and testparm shows the share parameter "path = /mnt/vol1/Privat".

looking at the share configuration in the UI, the parameter was correctly migrated, it is entered correctly with "/%U" but it does not reach the samba daemon/configuration in the system.

on the other hand, if we do use the checkbox "home share" we CAN access the individual home directory using \\server\homes, but it is not possible to supply a custom name for that home share instead of "homes".

If you want to hot-patch your server, the diff is pretty minimal. File on your server is located under: /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/middlewared/etc_files/local/smb4_share.conf

It is a good idea to clone your boot environment and ssh into the server prior to modifying the file. Once you have modified it, run the command "service middlewared oneresart" and then "midclt call etc.generate smb_share".
