Proposal for initial state of add guarantor form

It seems that now the search for patrons to select as a guarantor includes
patrons with a 'Child' type patron category. Is that intentional? Shouldn't
they be excluded?

I notice also that when you select a patron to be a guarantor, the patron
number is no longer a link to the patron record. I think it would make more
sense to not show the borrowernumber at all, but make the guarantor name a
link:

<a href="moredetail.pl?borrowernumber=0000">Surname, Firstname (cardnumber)</a>

I think it's confusing that there are two buttons, 'Add guarantor', 'Set to
patron.' They could potentially mean the same thing. I think we might have the
initial state of this form have only two links: 'Search to add guarantor' and
'Add guarantor manually' (see attached image).

Clicking the 'Add manually' link would display the form along with a submit
button, and the "Clear" link would be shown.

The manual add form should prevent the user from submitting empty data.

Sorry, I know that's a lot, and I'm willing to help with follow-ups if folks
think these are good ideas.
