Problem to solve

As an admin user of the Gitlab Users API I need to retrieve only a certain type of users I'm currently interested in (e.g. human users or project bots).

Intended users

• Sidney (Systems Administrator)

User experience goal

The admin user should be able to use the Users API with GitLab to retrieve only users which have a certain value in their user_type attribute (introduced in #322975).

Proposal

Provide a filter like user_type=<enum value> (with <enum value> from the USER_TYPES enum in has_user_type.rb) to return only users of the requested type. This is related to the existing filter exclude_internal=true from #241144 (closed).
