The idea is to:

1) Have a generic master form in ILL based on current FreeForm's form at:
https://github.com/PTFS-Europe/koha-ill-freeform
2) Deprecate the above FreeForm backend
3) Perhaps rethink the name to "Standard", "Default", something like that?
4) Migrate FreeForm requests for this new "Standard backend" built in core on
upgrade

Reasoning behind this:
- The ILL module does not work out of the box, it requires at least one backend
to work. This is not great as ideally enabling the system preference should be
enough to make use of the module, without additional work being needed.
- This master form in core would allow for future extensions of the ILL module,
could be used as baseline for future work that will optionally not require the
user (Staff/OPAC) to pick the backend beforehand if several backends are
installed 
 - the user may not know which backend to pick, they likely just know what
they're looking for.

Thoughts?
