Bug 33087: OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup considers On order as available

if OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup is set to "Don't allow" (i.e. if patrons cannot
place holds on items that are available at their library), patrons cannot place
holds on items that are on order (or any negative not for loan value) for
pickup at their library.

Technically, those items are not "available", so they shouldn't be affected by
this system preference.

To replicate:

Prerequisites :

-  Have at least two libraries (I used the sample libraries)

-  Have a patron in one of the libraries (I used Henry Acevedo), make sure you
know the user id and password for that patron

-  Make sure the circulation rules allow holds for the patron category

1. Set OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup to "Don't allow"

   1.1. Go to Administration > Global system preference
   1.2. Search for OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup
   1.3. Change the value to "Don't allow"
   1.4. Click "Save all Circulation preferences"

2. Make an item "On order" at the patron's library (Henry Acevedo is at Midway)

   2.1. If needed, create a bibliographic record and item
   2.2. Edit the item to assign the "On order" not for loan status
   2.3. Change the home and holding library to the patron's library (Midway)
   2.4. Click "Save changes"

3. Try to place a hold on the item through the OPAC

   3.1. In the OPAC, log in as the patron
   3.2. Search for the item
   3.3. Click "Place hold"

   --> Notice the patron's library is greyed out in the pickup location
drop-down menu"

4. Apply the patch

5. Repeat step 3

   --> Notice you can select the patron's library in the pickup location
drop-down menu and place a hold with it
