There is a FK constraint, that makes it so that when a patron is deleted, the
ILL requests linked to the account are deleted as well.

This can potentially cause a number of problems:
* ILL requests deleted could be pending, in shipment etc. You will have no
audit track if there are any problems with transport etc.
* You won't be able to do reliable statistics on number of ILL requests etc.
especially since adding a request is not even logged.


I propose that instead of removing the borrowernumber, we either
* leave it
* set it to NULL

Would love to get some input on this one!
