Enables the library to choose whether to have patrons scan their barcodes for self checkout, or login
with username and password. Uses 'checkpw' for compatibility with LDAP authentication.
Also introduces a few new system preferences to make Self Checkout more secure and manageable:
SelfCheckTimeOut: the number of seconds before the self-checkout login times out for a patron
AllowSelfCheckReturns: indicate whether or not patrons can return materials via self-checkout
SelfCheckHelpMessage: user-configurable HTML to show specific text on the Help page.
Thank you to Marlboro College in Marlboro, VT for sponsoring and testing this development!

Hard Due Dates dev part 3: implementing the due dates in circ
CalcDateDue now calls GetLoanLength, rather than each invocation running separately one after another. Therefore, instead of
the 'loanlength' param, CalcDateDue now takes 'itype', and uses the info to get both the issuelength and the hardduedate info (if it exists)
Global Due Date no longer populates in the sticky due date field in Circ, since it can't be determined before the item is scanned. Any specified
due date still overrides the circulation rules, if allowed.
Hard Due Dates in the past will return an error message, but can be manually specified if truly desired.
Also, a small fix to updatedatabase.pl to allow the old data to populate if possible.

HardDueDates dev part 1: database changes
Adds two new columns to issuingrules, a hardduedate and a hardduedatecompare. If globalduedate is set, use that as the universal value
for all circ rules. Else, if ceilingduedate is set, use that as the universal value. Adjust the comparison accordingly (-1 before, 0
exact, 1 after). the old system preferences globalDueDate and ceilingDueDate are then removed.

This patch adds a new syspref FineNotifyAtCheckin.
With syspref ON there will be a message when checking in books from
a patron with outstanding fines.
With syspref OFF (default) no message will be shown.

This patch adds two sysprefs to allow libraries more fine-grained control over
when fines can and can't be overridden. The two sysprefs are:
* AllFinesNeedOverride - when this syspref is set to "Require" (default) any
fine will require a staffmember to override the fine in order to check out a
book. When set to "Don't require," fines below noissuescharge will not need
any override.
* AllowFineOverride - when this syspref is set to "Allow," staff will be able to
override fines that are above noissuescharge. When set to "Don't allow"
(default), staff will not be able to check out items to patrons with fines
greater than noissuescharge.

In India a ILS product called Libsuite8 prints barcodes like b0007432. The barcode is not stored anywhere in libsuite8's database. Neither is barcode available in any of the reports generated by the software.
The barcode 'b0007432' when scanned into the libsuite8 software is de-constructed like 'b' which is the itemtype i.e. Book in this instance, and '7432' which is the 'Accession Number'. The software then takes the logged in staff's branchcode and does a join on three tables 'Location', 'Media_Type', and 'Books' to retrieve the particular record from the database.
There is no possibility of recreating the barcodes for insertion in Koha while doing a retrospective conversion, because of arbitrary length of the barcode string AND arbitrary number of zeros in the numeric part of the printed barcode AND the fact that there are no reports available from the software which contain barcodes AND the fact that the barcode is not stored in the database.
But most importantly due to the simple fact that printed barcodes are duplicated among branches.
Therefore this patch emulates the functionality of Libsuite8 software of converting the scanned barcode into one stored in Koha using the itemBarcodeInputFilter system preference.
To use this new itemBarcodeInputFilter systempreference choice called 'libsuite8', the barcodes stored in Koha must match the pattern of <branchcode>-<itemtype_code>-<accession_number>. This is easy to achieve while doing retrospective conversion from Libsuite8 to Koha.
As expected the itemBarcodeInputFilter will return unmodified barcode if presented with a barcode of pattern <branchcode>-<itemtype_code>-<accession_number>
This revision corrects the way updatedatabase.pl is changed in order to correctly update version and insert the libsuite8 option in the database. Also kohaversion.pl is changed in the recommended format of 3.0X.0X.XXX to reflect database has changed.
This revision also changes the erronorous itemBarcodeInputFilter description in koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/preferences/circulation.pref from 'scanned patron barcodes' to 'scanned item barcodes' there by eliminating need for a separate patch for bug 5417.

1) applied patch to HEAD
2) set next database number in kohaversion.pl and updatedatabase.pl
3) webinstaller kicked in, update ok
4) typed the barcodes from test cases into check-in
Barcodes used my local branch code, everything seemed ok to me.

This system preference allows the librarian to toggle on or off whether the JQuery tablesort is used on the
circ/circulation.pl page. For patrons with many checkouts, this sort may cause very slow page loading (and
therefore slow circulation transaction time), depending on the browser and local machine used. Staff can
still see a sortable list of current checkouts on the members/moremember.pl page.
My revision prevents the template from including *any* tablesorter code if the
preference is feature is turned off: both the circulation list and
the holds list will have no jQuery tablesorter.

these prefs : FilterBeforeOverdueReport & DisplayClearScreenButton shouldn't be

[Documentation note by RM:
This patch adds a new system preference, OverduesBlockCirc,
that can take one of three values:
- noblock: checkouts permitted even if patrons
have overdue items (default)
- confirmation: circ operator asked to confirm checkout
- block: checkouts to patrons who have overdue
items are forbidden

The missing syspref AllowHoldDateInFuture was added, and
OPACAllowHoldDateInFuture was moved next to it, on the Circulation
tab. Normally, it would go on the OPAC tab, but since both have to be
on for future holds on the OPAC, it's less confusing for them to be
together.
Note that most of the prefs that have been moved between tabs were
moved intentionally, because the old tab no longer made sense. If one
in particular seems wrong, please let me know.
