[atlas] Proposal: Remove support for non-public measurements [ONLY-PUBLIC]

Hello,
I support Gert here, network operators (LIRs) can have valid reasons to 
make some their measurements non-public. So I don't support removal of 
this feature. It's a bad idea...

If some probe host has problem with that, why don't mark such probes as 
not-available for private measurements (this can be implemented easily)? 
And I think there will be only minority of probes marked like that. 
Majority of hosts will not care at all...

And keep in mind that Atlas is funded by LIRs and their money. All the 
big-data infrastructure (and also making of hardware probes) costs real 
(and not small) money. Existence of rivate measurements might be one 
reason, why LIRs allow spending money for this useful project. Probe 
hosting is only small piece in expenses within this project...
