Expanding the error-handling and capabilities of the Record.pm API.

This module represents a major leap forward in Koha's support of standard
record formats (ISO-2709 (MARC), MARCXML, Dublin Core, MODS, etc). It
provides a standard API for record management as well as an error-handling
mechanism so that the API will return proper error strings to the calling
program. It's only partially implemented currently, but the API returns
proper error strings if a feature isn't implemented.

There is also a testing suite that you can use to check your system's
capabilities to handle record and encoding conversions. Commit coming
soon.

I'm gonna work in UNICODE support next ...

Probably best to avoid using this ... it has some rather striking problems:
* saves blank subfields
* subfield order is hardcoded to always start
with 'a' for repeatable tags (because it is hardcoded in the
addfield routine).
* only possible to specify one set of indicators for each set of
tags (ie, one for all the 650s). (because they were stored in a
hash with the tag as the key).
* the underlying routines didn't support subfield
reordering or subfield repeatability.

I've left it in here because it could be useful if someone took the time to
fix it.
