In the patron module we validate the input fields for monetary values using a
pattern check 
(see
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines#ACC2:_Input_type_.22number.22_should_be_avoided),
but we don't do the same in acq.

Especially for countries that use decimal comma this can lead to problems. At
the moment Koha only accepts decimal point and a wrongly entered value might
get turned from 1,00 to 100 or similar easily. 

Until we can fix the input formats properly, we should extend the pattern check
to fields in the acq module I think.

Also: We can use the pattern check later to identify any fields that needs work
for different input formats.
