Ills FF is not updated from dropdown

[Mike Rylander]

The Ills fixed field is 4 characters long (allowing for up to four types of illustrations to be noted, per 008/006), but the fixed field editor dropdown menus are not (a) multi-select capable nor (b) ready to support multi-value-per-field, because, well Ills is the only one like this, and that would be a pretty big complication to the code. However, even though multi-select is not supported, we should still apply the value selected and update the fixed field, otherwise the value is not updated in the record itself. The forthcoming branch addresses that by padding out fixed fields using their default padding character when they are shorter than the allowable length and the value is selected from the context menu.

And here's the branch: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/miker/lp1303987-pad-short-ff-values

Tested on 2.6 beta1 client and works as expected.

I will note that in a perfect world it would be nice to have this drop down menu be a multi-select since the Ills field allows for multiple entries. I'll LP that as a wishlist item.
