Merging multiple profiles

Description

Combining multiple profiles into a new profile or existing one.

caution

• The profiles generated by merging are not imports. Import trigger does not work on them.
• Email: localhost - as an absent field, it is created if necessary and is not copied to another profile.
• Not localhost email is copied like any other field, but in order to avoid any conflicts, it disappears from the source profile, changes to empty (that is, localhost).
