[Koha] Koha 3.4 OpacHiddenItems continued

[Linda Culberson]

I got the information from docs/opac/OpacHiddenItems.txt  and just took 
at stab at it.
Those item types (itypes) I listed no longer appear in the opac - so I 
think it works. like
in OpacHiddenItems.txt
It indicates you can use any field in the items table:

and it works for us.
