--- Comment #6 from Björn Nylén <bjorn.nylen at ub.lu.se> ---
Proposing this solution. Th patch adds a new column to the message_queue,
delay_until, that contains a time that the notice should be delayed until. 
Om the returns page there are a new circulation setting, Delay pickup notice
until, where the librarian can set a time the notice will be delyed until.
On the patron account notice log, there will be a note indicating the delayed
messages.(pending, delayed until [datetime])

For us the main usage in our stacks where books are processed as they are
picked but they might not be available for the patron until a few hours later
in the day.

The change to the message queue should be backwards compatible as the
delay_until will be set to null unless a time is provided and those messages
will be processed as before. 

To test:

1. Apply patch and run updatedatabase.pl to add new column to message_queue.
2. Check in an item with a hold to produce a pickup notice.
3. Select a time for pickup notice delay. Note the warning about the delay.
4. Check in another item with hold to produce a pickup notice.
5. Check the patron notice logs, the one with a delay should read "pending,
delayed until ...".
6. Run process_message_queue.pl before and after the selected time above.
The delayed message should not be sent until after the set time.
