Bug 6448 [1/3] EAN-13/UPC-A itemBarcodeInputFilter
This filter which check validity of EAN-13 barcode and padd it with zeros
up to full 13 digit number. This will also expand 12 digit UPC-A barcodes
to EAN-13 automatically which is useful for older barcode readers which tend
to ignore first zero in EAN-13 if they have just UPC-A support.
It should be noted that EAN-13 or UPC-A product codes printed on books are not
good choice for barcodes in Koha since each item has to have unique barcode.
Test scenario:
1. prove t/Circulation_barcodedecode.t
this checks expansion of 12 digit UPC-A to 13 digit EAN-13 and zero padding
2. in systempreferences search for itemBarcodeInputFilter and select EAN-13
3. edit one item and assign it valid EAN-13 barcode, eg.
0000000695152, check it out
4. test checkin with just 695152 to test leading zero expansion
