Enhancement request: Allow for negative payments in Point of Sale.

In Point of Sale module, you are allowed to edit the cost of a sale item, and
change the amount tendered. But the system won't allow you to input negative
numbers for cost. 

For example, if we want to refund a patron $20 from their print account, we
take $20 out of the register and hand it to the patron. Point of Sale has no
way to record this refund, since the money was collected long ago and over many
transactions (i.e. there is no specific transaction to refund). As a result,
the register in POS will be over by $20.

If we could make a sale of an item with a cost of -20.00, we could account for
this refund and balance the POS register correctly.
