Expired holds report screenshot

Sponsored by East Brunswick Public Library, East Brunswick, NJ, USA.

Library staff needed a report of expired or cancelled holds to help clean the
holds shelf.  While developing this, we realized that Koha had no mechanism to
move naturally-expired holds to the old_reserves table.  Holds that are
actively cancelled get moved, but holds that expire after the period calculated
from the ReservesMaxPickUpDelay syspref stay in the active reserves table.  We
added a field named expirationdate to reserves and old_reserves.  When a hold
is triggered, its expiration date is calculated from the syspref and written to
this field.  A nightly cron job script looks for expired holds based on this
field and moves them from reserves to old_reserves.

The new report Expired Holds checks for expired holds; output can be specified
by patron name or date.

We have also done screen changes to show the hold expiration date in both staff
and OPAC hold displays.
