Tested on a fresh install on current master

To reproduce:
- Go to Koha > Patrons > Add patron (full form)
- Verify that label for card number reads: "Card number(leave blank for auto
calc during registration):"
- Do not enter anything in field card number
- Enter surname, try to save
- Form does not save because field card number is required

Reason:
- autoMemberNum is on by default 
 (sysprefs.sql line 65)
- BorrowerMandatoryField contains surname|cardnumber by default
 (sysprefs.sql line 86)
- Full form does not save because card number is mandatory and empty

Note: With quick add form and settings above, cardnumber is not displayed, form
saves properly.

What to do?
- Better explanation for autoMemberNum and BorrowerMandatoryField
- Set defaults for autoMemberNum and BorrowerMandatoryField in a way that they
do not conflict?
- Ignore cardnumber being a mandatory field if autoMemberNum is on?
- Ask for settings in onboarding tool?
