When one cancels a hold with the Cancel button on Holds Awaiting Pickup
(waitingreserves.pl), a transfer may be generated but Koha doesn't prompt you
to print a transfer slip.

Following the changes in bug 23092, this transfer is generated with both a
daterequested and a datesent -- in other words the transfer is immediately
considered Sent.

Since the transfer is already Sent, checking the item in to generate a new hold
slip will generate a "wrong transfer" error message, cancel the first transfer,
and generate a new transfer (which does get a slip).

I see two options to resolve this:

1: We could generate the transfer as Requested rather than Sent. One would then
check the item in to trigger the transfer and get a slip at that point.

2: We could print the transfer slip right away when cancelling the hold.

Answer 1 seems simpler and more in line with the directions transfers are going
in.
