The 'on shelf holds' circulation rule defines whether all or some items must be
unavailable for a hold to be placed. If 'on shelf holds' is set so all items
must be unavailable to place holds, then only items that allow reserves should
be considered in that.

For example:
You have a record with a bunch of different itemtypes attached: Biblio A has
three items - a book, a DVD, and a magazine. 

Books and DVDs have circulation rules where reserves are allowed (reserves
allowed > 0).
Magazines have a circulation rule where reserves are NOT allowed (reserves
allowed == 0);
'On shelf holds' is set to 'all items must be unavailable'.

The book and DVD for Biblio A are both checked out and the magazine is not.
This means that all items that COULD be reserved are unavailable so a patron
should be able to place a hold on them. However, because the magazine is not
checked out, Koha things there is an item still available and blocks the patron
from placing a hold, even though magazines are not allowed to be reserved.

When checking if an item can be reserved based on the 'on shelf holds' rule, we
should only consider items that allow reserves in the first place.
