Some of our partners have unusual barcode requirements that have
required us to transform scanned barcodes using javascript. This is not
the most reliable method. It would make more sense to have Koha
transform the barcodes on the backend using a plugin. We should add
hooks to transform and generate new item and patron barcodes.
Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Download and install the Barcode Transformer plugin
https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-barcode-transformer/releases/
3) Go to the plugin configuration page, set the configuration to the example configuration from the same page
4) In the item barcode field on the checkin and checkout pages,
and anywhere else you can scan an item barcode, type in some
valid barcodes, but prefix them with X and postfix them with
Y, e.g. X123456Y
5) Note the letters are removed by Koha!

Bug 26351: Use call_recursive() as a replacement for call()
The method `call()` is not sufficient for barcode transformations. It's
possible that more than one barcode transformation plugin will be
installed. The `call_recursive()` method takes the output of the first
plugin and uses it as the input for the next plugin and so on. This allowes
each plugin to see the current version of the barcode and modify it if
necessary.
