[Koha] Display of Scrolling New Arrivals List on Koha, OPAC

[Kivilahti Olli-Antti]

Hi there!

Using the acquisition date as the "newest material" sortin index is 
problematic because the Items are sorted in the acquisiton order, 
meaning that the topmost results have not yet arrived to the library and 
might not arrive in many months if you preorder your Items.

See http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13707
this adds a new column datereceived, which tells when the Item has been 
actually received to your library.
Then the borrowers can find what material actually exists in his library.
