[Koha] Batch deleting patrons

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Andy,

permanently delete these patrons = deletes from the borrowers table (all
data is gone)
move these patrons to the trash = moves the patron information to
deleted_borrowers table. This way it can still be used for statistical
purposes. But there is currently no option to undo a deletion.

Hope this helps!

Katrin
