This patch updates the existing help files and
adds the missing offline circ help file.

To test:

* Visit all circ pages and check the manual links
* Visit the new offline circulation page and confirm text
and link are there (link will work after 10/25)

+<h1>Offline Circulation</h1>
+
+<p>If the AllowOfflineCirculation preference is set to 'Enable' the library staff can continue to perform circulation actions within Koha when the system is offline.
+ 
+<h2>Setup</h2>
+
+<p>Before the first time the system goes offline go to Circulation and choose 'Built-in offline circulation interface'</p>
+
+<p>And synchronize your data on every circulation computer by clicking the 'Synchronize' link on the right of the screen.</p>
+
+<p>This will allow you download a local copy of your patrons and circulation data. Click the 'Download records' link at the top of the page to synchronize your data.</p>
+
+<p>Once your data is downloaded you will see the dates your data was last synced to the right of each data set.</p>
+
+<p>This should be done regularly in preparation for any unexpected connection losses.</p>
+
+<h2>Circulating</h2>
+
+<p>When your system goes offline visit the Offline Circulation page in Koha and click 'Check out' or 'Check in' to perform offline actions.</p>
+
+<p>Checking out is done by searching for the patron by barcode or name at the top of the 'Check out' screen. After selecting a patron you will be presented with the synced patron info, including fines and check outs.</p>
+
+<p>Scan the barcode of the item you would like to check out and enter a due date. If you don't enter a due date Koha will prompt you for one.</p>
+
+<p>Once the item is checked out it will appear below the patron's info.</p>
+
+<p>Once the system is back online visit the Synchronize page on the Offline Circulation module and click 'Upload transactions'</p>
+
+<h2>Upload transactions</h2>
+
+<p>After the files are uploaded you can click 'View pending offline circulation actions' on the right to process the actions.</p>
+
+<p><strong>See the full documentation for Offline Circulation in the <a href="http://manual.koha-community.org/3.14/en/offlinecirc.html#kohaofflinecirc">manual</a> (online).</strong></p>
