When a user cancels their account, their identifying information (real name) in the history_historyentry table was preserved in the 'user', 'delete_comment_user', and 'comment_versions' JSON fields, allowing re-identification in violation of GDPR requirements. This commit: - Adds _anonymize_history_entries() to User.cancel() that replaces user names with 'Deleted user' while preserving PKs for internal permission checks - Clears values_diff_cache which may contain cached user names - Includes a data migration to retroactively fix already-cancelled users - Adds tests verifying anonymization and non-interference with other users Fixes taigaio#96
