[Koha] Bulk patron anonymize/delete tool

OK, I think I found the problem.  We have a number of patrons who were 
created (or somehow set) the privacy setting on their accounts.  This 
was not readily visible and not taken into account when we were trying 
to perform the anonymizing.

Where on the OPAC can a patron set their privacy flag?  I've not seen 
where that option can be set.

Thanks,
Tom
