Motivation
Make it possible for results to be confidential (not show usernames) even when survey is not anonymous i.e requires respondents to log in.
Proposal
Need to provide a confidentiality flag. (a boolean on the top-level survey).
When set, this would mean that even if respondents are required to
log in to complete the survey (i.e anonymous is disallowed), their
username does not appear in the results tables, so its not possible for
the survey author to match answers to actual people.
This should be an optional flag, because in other situations it's desirable that we DO see the usernames.
