#5573: "anonymized" users should be blocked to prevent use

Currently when a user asks to have their account pulled (ie turned
anonymized), we blank out the email and anon them as much as possible. BUT
we do not change the account status to blocked.
Since they've asked us not to use/keep their data anymore, we should
similarly block the accounts and reset passwords to prevent lingering
cookies from allowing them to give us more data. It rather defeats the
purpose of their request, eh? :)
