It would be nice if we could define in UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin how long the
change takes effect.  Either add a |0 for indefinite, or |60 for 60 minutes
(enter the duration in minutes.

Maybe also have a |[BRANCH,ETC] or |[ALL] parameter to indicate what branches
this would affect.  That way, you could specify which branches to apply which
timings to.

The reason for this is that the reset to permanent is currently done through a
cron, so we can't see this in settings, and it is global.  It affects everyone.
 Some libraries return items to the shelf sooner than others.  We could
streamline this to adjust to each libraries reshelving rate.

I guess the only issue would be the trigger for this.  Should a cron job be
checking these updates, and should there be a minimum on how often this cron
runs so that it doesn't bog down the system?  Would it bog down the system
looking for items in shelving location at a branch?  Should it be limited to
hours and not minutes?

Also, should UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin be left as a global setting, and
should we have a branch level setting in the branches setups?
