[Koha] Hide bibliographic records

[Kathy Rippel]

I, too, think it would be nice to be able to suppress at the item 
level, too. We have duplicate records in our catalog only because one 
site needs to suppress and the other doesn't.

It would be nice to combine them on to one bib record, with some 
suppressed in the OPAC and one not.

OS-- Oh, yeah, and it would REALLY be great if there was a flag in 
the staff module to alert staff that a certain record is suppressed! 
That would save staff telling patrons, "It's right there in the 
catalog, I'm looking at the record right here." (While they are using 
the staff module!)
