[Koha] Koha software based self-check

[Ian Walls]

I've got some code I need to bundle up into a patch that does Self Checkout
by login and password, instead of barcode scanning, to give the system an
added layer of security.  I've been a little swamped, and haven't released
this to Koha patches list as soon as I would have liked (it's available in
the ByWater repo at
http://git.bywatersolutions.com/?p=bywater-koha.git;a=commit;h=5c212fe159e7f3a50d9a2528df261a8867368a06,
but may need a rebase).  I'll work on rectifying that this month.
