The default behavior when returning an item, is to check if a patron is
debarred, in that case check if the patron has any other overdue items left,
and if not to lift the debarment. One might argue that it would be more logical
to lift the debarment on the same conditions on which the Patron was debarred,
so if the patron is in a state that would not cause debarment, the patron
should not be debarred. That is: only if the patron has items that are overdue
enough to cause restriction/debarment the debarment should be maintained.

This patch provides a system preference, that if set instead of checking for
any delayed items on returning an item, uses the delay used for restrictions to
check for items exceeding that limit, and if none are found lifts the
debarment.

(Stefan Berndtsson at Gothenburg University library is the original author of
this patch).
