Update Special:GlobalBlockList to properly hide the targets of global autoblocks
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

The Special:GlobalBlockList page allows users to view the currently active list of global blocks, as well as filtering for specific global blocks. The page should be updated so that the target of global autoblocks are not exposed, ensuring that neither through inference (the global autoblock appearing when searching for an IP address) or directly.

The changes needed will be similar, but probably more wide in scope, to T376750.

Acceptance criteria

The Special:GlobalBlockList page does not expose, either by inference or directly, the target of a global autoblock
