Standing penalty CAPTURE and FULFILL blocks

[Bill Erickson]

The goal of this feature is to add two additional types of standing penalty blocks to manage holds. The existing "HOLD" block prevents new holds from being created. I'd like to propose we add "CAPTURE" and "FULFILL" blocks as well for finer grained control.

When a user has a standing penalty containing "CAPTURE" in the block list, the user can place holds (pending no HOLD block), but no holds for the user will be captured. This is effectively a policy-based freeze of the hold.

Users that have penalties with "FULFILL" in the block list will be able to place holds and have their holds captured (i.e. delivered) but will not be able to check out the captured holds. This is basically a honey pot for getting patrons in to pay outstanding balances.

As part of the development, any penalty that currently has a HOLD block would also get the CAPTURE and FULFILL blocks added for backwards compatibility.

Branch to follow.

Note to self: Add filter to the hold pull list generator to avoid listing copies for holds where the user currently has a CAPTURE block. Otherwise, staff will be pulling copies that can't be captured.

Note that the code (IDL view) in bug #971989 will need to be updated to match these changes after either of these has been merged.

Force-pushed a rebased branch to resolve a master merge conflict.

Pushed:

    Apply HOLD block on new holds, CAPTURE block on existing

    With the addition of the CAPTURE block, the HOLD block should only apply
    for newly placed holds in the hold permit test
    (action.hold_request_permit_test).

Also merged in master.

Our members are interested in such a feature, so I'll give this one a test.

Signed off on the 9 commits in working/collab/dyrcona/hold-cap-fill-penalty-blocks.

It works for me and doesn't seem to break existing HOLD blocks or fulfilling holds normally.

Thanks Bill & Mike.

Thanks muchly. Merged to master!
