I think this was not completely fixed in bug 37892. When adding a patron, you
cannot choose a guarantor with the same category.

To recreate:
1, Go to Patrons
2. Click 'New patron' > 'Kid'
3. Fill out surname and cardnumber
4. Under Patron guarantor, click Add guarantor
5. Search for category = Kid and choose one of the patrons
6. Choose the relationship
7. Click 'Save'
   --> Error A guarantor cannot be a guarantee.

This patron is not a guarantor. This error does not make sense.

***Note that it also blocks editing a patron that has the same category as
their guarantor when coming from an upgrade!*** I think this a major, if not
critical.

I get that the example with 'Kid' does not make much sense, but I just wanted
to avoid having to go into patron categories to change the 'Patron' category
for example to 'can be guarantee' and make the example with two 'Patron'
patrons.

Not all libraries classify their patrons with kid/adult. It might be
resident/non-resident for example, and a resident parent could have a resident
guarantee.
