[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Allow blocks to be hidden (Issue #4940)

[Simon Poole]

### Problem

Temporary blocks "for investigation" remain both on the user page (active block count field is shown), as in the global block list, tainting the account till the end of time, or OSMs demise, whatever comes sooner.

### Description

There has been a change of use of the blocking feature by the DWG that has, likely unintended, negative consequences. See for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/16347

Historically we've left zero hour blocks in the lists, but that has potentially the same issue.

I would suggest providing moderators with the option of hiding a block, which, in line with other moderation actions, would remove such blocks from public display (and not counting them for displaying the block link on the user page publicly).
