TYPO3 Core

The description of this global settings is

Configures if and how IP addresses stored via TYPO3''s API should be anonymized ("masked") with a zero-numbered replacement.

I totally expected this to mean that newly created sys_log entries (and other IP logs if the core does this) are automatically anonymized if set to 1 or 2. But instead this option is currently only used by the new IpAnonymizationTask and Indexed Search. I expect that the TYPO3 core itself has IP addressed "stored via TYPO3''s API".

1. adjust the description (-> "not used by core itself for log entries, use task or anonymize API yourself if you need this")
2. make the core actually anonymize IP addresses upon persisting sys_log entries depending on this setting

I prefer the second option, because then this setting would be of an actual use without having to setup the task to anonymize afterwards.

Side note: also note the wrong double apostrophe in the string "TYPO3''s API"
