This form had a problem, orginally: it allowed you to place holds with invalid
pickup locations, and didn't even require AllowHoldPolicyOverride. The idea was
to make it so you weren't offered bad pickup locations.

Asking different libraries, it turned out this wasn't a bad workflow:
- You select several biblios and click place hold
- A form is presented (similar to the one before
- There's a dropdown that lets you choose the union of the valid pickup
locations from all selected titles
- Only those for which the chosen one is a valid one are set
- The rest require manually setting them
- If you manually set one, changing the top-level 'Pickup at' one should not
change it
- It needs to honour the UI decision we made about overriden pickup locations,
having them show a notice about them being an override to rules

So that's it. Reading the bug description, my guess is that:
- The 'Pickup at' dropdown might need some better explanation in the UI (a
hint, a visible text)
- I read a comment from dcook somewhere else, and it felt like he found a bug
that made the form send empty pickup locations, that actually hit the DB,
that'd be a bug, not a usability discussion.
