Bug 35067: Show parent authorised value options in biblio editor

This enhancement adds the option to link a parent authorised value category to
a new authorised value category.
When the authorised value category is allocated to a biblio framework subfield,
its values, plus it's parent's values, will show as possible options for that
subfield in the cataloguing biblio editor.

To test:

1) Install database updates and restart services. You may also need to rebuild
schema files to capture the change to the database.
2) Go to Koha Administration -> Authorised Values. Notice the table listing
authorised values now has a 'Parent category' column.
3) Click the button to add a New category. Notice there is a 'Parent category'
dropdown available to set, containing all of the existing authorised value
categories. Give your new category a name (for eg, CHILD), and choose any
parent category (perhaps LANG). Save.
4) Add a value or set of values to your new category CHILD.
5) Once saved, go back to the main Authorised Values page and confirm your new
category CHILD is showing with the correct parent category in the 'Parent
category' column.

6) Go to Koha Administration -> MARC bibliographic frameworks.
7) Click the Actions dropdown for the Default framework and click on MARC
structure.
8) Search for a tag and click the Actions dropdown, then choose Edit subfields.
For example if testing with the LANG authorised value category, choose the 041
tag and Edit its subfields.
9) Go to the 'a' subfield tab. Go down to 'Other options (choose one)' and
assign your new category CHILD to the Authorised value setting. Save.

10) Go to Cataloguing and add a new record using the default framework.
11) Go to the tag your just edited, i.e. the 041 tag. Click the dropdown to
open it.
12) Confirm a heading for your new category CHILD shows with its authorised
value(s) listed below it as selectable options. Confirm that the parent
category i.e. LANG shows underneath, with its authorised value(s) listed below
as selectable options.
13) Confirm you are able to choose a value from either list and save the record
as normal.
