Ability to hide nicknames from the global address list now available in the Control Panel

How to access what's new:
In the administrator control panel, select “Domain Settings”, then “User Settings” and “Contact Sharing” to access the new options.

Note:
- The setting can take up to 24 hours to propagate.
- Email addresses based on domain aliases will not be affected by this setting - they will continue to be hidden.
- Email addresses that the user already has in their contact list will not be affected by this setting - they will continue to appear in autocomplete unless that contact is manually deleted.
- This setting also controls whether nicknames will appear in Contacts search and Contacts details view.
