Bug Description
As it stands the grace period for a transaction is only specified on the fine generator script, but fines can be generated on checkin as well without one. As a result any checkin results in grace periods being negated.
The attached patch adds in-db grace periods for all non-booking transactions, removing the grace period from the fine generator cron job script and placing it on the circulation. Grace periods are set on the recurring fine rule with an override available on the circ matchpoint, identical to how renewal count can be overridden from the duration rule already. These grace periods are respected on checkin fine generation as well as on the fine generator cron job script.
The upgrade script will assume, by default, a grace period of 1, but has a \set line to change this. It will also update all circulations without a checkin by default, but another \set will allow disabling of that.
