Private email addresses should show the person's name instead

Bug Description

Today private email addresses are hidden from the UI. It's very hard to convey the idea that those are actually hidden, since the user can see their own address.

So, one way around this would be to, instead of hiding the address, *always* show the person's name instead of their email, if it's set to private. Even to the owner.

That way, privacy is concentrated in just the users' page, and, when Barry lands the contact-users-through-forms branch, this will be even cooler :)

Credits for this idea go to Joey Stanford, I'm just the messenger.
