Jacek Ablewicz 69216d2217 Bug 11352: fix unexpected data loss issues with batch patron deletion/anonymization
Batch patron deletion/anonymization tool has some issues:

1) If 'dateformat' setting in I18N/L10N system preferences is set
to anything other then 'iso' (eg. 'metric'), bulk deletion when using
'expiration date is before' criterion is not working properly. Date
entered in this field will be efectivelly ignored (or possibly
sometimes wrongly interpreted as different date, in other format)
on the final patron deletion stage. This may result in deleting
(or moving to trash) more borrower records then intended.
2) Bulk/batch patron deletion should skip borrowers with
nonzero account balance (ones with oustanding fines or credits)
3) This tool shouldn't offer to choose as deletion criterion
those patron categories which have category_type set to 'S'
(= staff patron categories)

This patch fixes above mentioned problems. It also adds an option
to "test run" patron batch deletion, and makes this option
the default choice in "warning" stage.

Test plan:
- prepare test database with some patron records (at least 2,
the more the better) set up in such a way that they will be vulnerable
to issues 1 & 2
- confirm issues 1,2
- restore test database
- apply patch
- ensure issues 1 & 2 are no longer present - first by using new "test
run" option: for #1, record counts in "warning" stage and "final" stage
should be now the same; for #2, observe that patron records with nonzero
balance are now excluded from deletion
- redo the tests, this time choosing "delete permanently" and "move
to trash" instead of "test run"
- test #3 by changing "Category type" to "S" in some
test patron categories - after that, those categories should no
longer be choosable as deletion criteria.

Tested with dateformat = dd/mm/yyyy. I tested with two expired patrons,
one with fines and one without. Before the patch a lot of unexpected
patrons were deleted along with the expected ones. After
applying the patch only the expired patron was deleted, not the
one with fines. The test run and the "real" run reported correct numbers.

The patch also makes sure no patron categories with category_type = S
are suggested for batch deletion.

Note: The ergonomics of the "Batch delete/anonymize" tool is hardly
optimal, but this patch fixes a real, data-loosing bug, so let's
deal with the ergonomics later.
