[Koha] Implementation of Hourly Loans RFC

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi,

I am not sure if someone is planning to implement the full specification
as written on the wiki, but there is some work in progress on taking
opening hours of the library into account:

Bug 8133 - hourly loans doesn't know when library closed

I am having challenges implementing the policy and I am running 3.116.1
