A combination of enhancements:  

1. Circulation staff should have the ability to set maximum fines/fees, holds,
etc by item type and borrower type, not just a system-wide setting.
2. Koha should not prompt to confirm checkout if amount owed is less than the
maximum amount of fines allowed.
3. Allow staff to edit an existing circ rule, instead of deleting and creating
new rule.

Uses new sysprefs UseGranularMaxFines, UseGranularMaxHolds, WarnOnlyOnMaxFine.

In circulation rules, set the maximum fine amount (the cap for fines to accrue
on a particular patron/item combination).  For example, if a fine for a book is
50 cents per day, and the max fine setting in the rule is $2.00, once an
overdue book reaches $2.00 in fines it will not charge more than that amount
even though it's kept out longer than four days.

In circulation rules, set the maximum number of holds for the patron/item
combination.  For example, a Resident borrowing Books could be limited to 5
book holds, while a Resident borrowing DVDs could be limited to 2 DVD holds.  A
Nonresident could have different limits.

If the WarnOnlyOnMaxFine syspref is turned on, the patron Checkout tab will
show that fines are owed but will not require a "Checkout Anyway" click to
continue with the checkout.

To edit an existing circ rule, click the edit link next to the rule. That fills
the data into the "add" line at the bottom of the page.  Change values as
needed, then save.
