This 1st commit reorders deeply the circulation module.
The goal is to :
* have something 100% templated/translatable.
* have something easy to read & modify, to say to customers/users : you can define your circulation rules as you want if you accept to look in C4/Circ/Circ2.pm
The circulation now works :
1=> ask for the borrower barcode (as previously)
2=> ask for the item barcode.
3=> check "canbookbeissued". This new sub returns 2 arrays :
- IMPOSSIBLE : if something is here, then the issue is not possible and is not done.
- TOBECONFIRMED : if something is here, then the issue can be donc if the user confirms it.
4=> if TOBECONFIRMED is set : ask for confirmation, loop. if neither are set or confirmation flag is set (2nd pass of the loop), then issue.
The IMPOSSIBLE & TOBECONFIRMED hashs contains :
* the reason of the line. always in capitals, with words separated by _ : BARCODE_UNKNOWN, DEBTS ... as key of the hash
* more information, as value of the hash ( TOBECONFIRMED{ALREADY_ISSUED} = "previous_borrower_name", for example)
This commit :
* compiles
* works on certain situations, not on other
* does NOT issue (the line is # )
* does not check issuing rules depending of # of books allowed / already issued
The next step is :
- check issuing rule.
- extend issuing rule to have a 3D array : for each branch / itemtype / borrowertype = issuing number and issuing length.

1. Circ2::returnbook will throw an exception if $branch is undef
2. branch/printer-getting code is modularized into getbranch and getprinter
with correct logic from circulation.pl (temporarily put into Circ2.pm)
3. circulation.pl and returns.pl modified to use above functions
Noted correct tab sizes for the files; returns.pl partially reformatted to
conform to the dominant correct tab size
Handle non-latin1 charsets for returns.pl
added returns.pl -> deals with the returns only
moved old circulation.pl to circulationold.pl which still deals with issues.
fixed up branchtransfers.pl
moved circulation2.pl to circulation.pl
Note more changes coming next week
