Bug Description

It would be convenient if holdings imports via MARC record imports (in both cataloging and acquisitions contexts) could allow the copy location to be specified by ID in addition to name.

While Evergreen copy location names can be (effectively) of unlimited length, not all systems that prepare MARC records for import into Evergreen systems are similarly unconstrained. For example, at least one materials vendor's system has a limit of 25 characters for the collection/location name. Since Evergreen doesn't have a concept of a (shorter) location code, allowing such systems to pass the numeric copy location ID field instead would work around the limitation.
