Currently the TransportCostMatrix is used during the holds queue process to
find the least cost branch when filling a hold.

For each request we find the cheapest branch option (or one of them if they are
equal) then check the pool of items from that branch to see if one of them can
satisfy the hold.

If we can't fill from the least cost branch, then we move on to any other
branch.

It would improve the situation for libraries if we went through all branches
ordered by the cost transport matrix, and optionally randomized when costs are
equal.
