Hi Michael,

as David pointed out, currently with IndependentBranches the records are shared
and there are no limitations to editing them. A record doesn't belong to any
library, everyone can edit. I think this is a too big change to existing
behavior that will be unwanted by many, so it should be made strictly optional.

I also believe we might not want to add a new concept like this on top of
IndependentBranches. In my opinion it needs more hashing out and it would look
better in the new library group settings that I hope will replace
IndependentBranches at some point in the not too soon future. 

Also there are a lot of edge cases here I am not sure about:

* If shared records cannot be edited by libraries using it, who can edit it to
fix issues?
* What about records for electronics, serials etc. that don't need to
necessarily have items?
* What about the Advanced cataloguing editor?

There is also no test plan here, please add one to your commit message. Also
take a look at how the subject etc. should look like:
