[Koha] LAST CALL - RFC for Bug 14048 - Change RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn to be branch specific

[Kyle Hall]

Hey all, I posted this on April 22, and received no feedback. I just wanted
to give everyone a second chance to post any feedback on the development
plan for bug 14048. If you have any comments about it, please let me know!
Otherwise, I'll assume everyone is ok with the development plan, and I can
go ahead with writing this feature.

Thanks!
Kyle

Some library systems would like to be able to control the behavior of
RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn

Expected outcome: To make the RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn system preference
branch specific

Plan of Attack:
1) Add new field 'refund_lost_item_fee_on_return' to the 'branches' table
2) Pre-populate this field with the system preference value for
RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn
3) Remove the system preference RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn
4) Replace uses of RefundLostItemFeeOnReturn with a lookup of the value of
branches.refund_lost_item_fee_on_return
5) Use HomeOrHolding to control whether the home branch or the holding
branch of the item is used to determine this.
6) Reveal the setting in the branches editor
