[Koha] How to use housebound module?

[Field, Jonathan]

Hi,

You might want to look at the plan on the bugzilla report

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5670

In summary,

- Optionally, add additional authorised values to 'HSBND_FREQ'.
- Switch on 'HouseboundModule' syspref.
- Ensure 'ExtendedPatronAttributes syspref is on.
- On patron pages, when editing, add some to the Housebound deliverer
  and chooser groups.
- On a patron page, the Housebound menu should now be present.
  - create housebound profile
    + ensure Frequency values seem pulled from 'HSBND_FREQ'.
  - create 'housebound visits' (deliveries)
    + ensure chooser/deliverer lists are populated with patrons that
      have the Chooser or Deliverer Attribute type.
  - edit visits.
  - delete visits.
- Switch off 'HouseboundModule'
  - the Housebound menu should disappear

We were talking about this a few days ago and will try and add some proper
documentation with screens to the manual pages.
