Bug 33036: REST API: Merge biblio records implements merging of records +
attached items, subscriptions etc via the API as an alternative to the web
interface: cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/merge.pl

To test:
    1) you need an API user with the permissions "editcatalogue"
    2) two records: one to be merged into (with biblio_id, eg 262) and another
one from
       which to merge (with biblio_id_to_merge, eg 9) which will be deleted!
       both records may/should have items, subscription, subscriptionhistory,
serial, suggestions
       orders and holds
    3) check both records via the web
    4) Apply patch
    5) execute API calls eg like
       POST /biblios/{biblio_id}/merge/{biblio_id_to_merge}
       eg:
       curl  -s -u koha:koha -X POST 
"http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/biblios/262/merge/9"
    6) the record with the id <biblio_id_to_merge> is deleted now, the record
with <biblio_id>
       has all items, etc attached, return code is 200, with the message
{"message":"Successfuly merged 9 into 262"}
    7) optionally a full MARCXML record may be sent as body of the API call
       curl  -s -u koha:koha -X POST 
"http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/biblios/262/merge/2" -d @marcfile.xml
    8) now also the content of the record with <biblio_id> is replaced with the
content of the MARCXML file
    9) Go into intramet and do a search. Select two or (better) more record.
    10) Merge them; merge must be a success.
    11) Test with prove -v t/db_dependent/Koha/Biblio.t

To do test with curl you canuse the MARCXML (MARC21) file attached in bugzilla.
