Implementations of PasswordUpgraderInterface can be called with a user instance that they don't support and are expected to handle it gracefully.
Handling it gracefully can be done either by being silent or by throwing an UnsupportedUserException.

This is a follow-up of #51283 to document that throwing UnsupportedUserException is actually fine for implementations as the way to handle unsupported users, as shown by the implementation of the ChainUserProvider:

if ($provider instanceof PasswordUpgraderInterface) {
try {
$provider->upgradePassword($user, $newHashedPassword);
} catch (UnsupportedUserException) {
// ignore: password upgrades are opportunistic
}
}

Note that the LdapUserProvider and EntityUserProvider in core are already relying on the fact that throwing an UnsupportedUserException is allowed.
