Partner Merge

Several reasons for merging partners:
- sometimes an identical partner is created twice in the system.
- people get married, and 2 partners become one partner of class FAMILY
Issues with 2.x solution:
- Data was changed in the whole database, eg. donor keys of gifts etc
- Undo when merging by mistake is very difficult, could only be done manually
- difficult to do an audit on the data
Proposal:
- add a database field to the partner table to make the merged partner point to the main partner
- hide the merged partner in the find screens, and only show the main partner
- make reports aware of merged partners
- undo is much easier
