           Summary: Patron detail page should show "home library" instead of

The patron detail page shows a row of information labeled "registration branch"
which is useful information, but not always accurate as labeled. 

Example:

Patron 1 acquired their library card at Library A in Town A. Patron 1 lives in
Town B, and would like library materials delivered to Library B. This means
that their registration branch is technically Library A, even though their
selected "home library" is Library B. The patron edit screen labels this
information as "Home library," which I believe to be more accurate labeling.

Staff could be confused into thinking that "registration branch" is the library
where the patron initially registered, instead of the branch/library where the
materials will be delivered.

I'm not sure that the original registration branch is necessary information,
but it might be nice to have, especially in consortia. That would be a bigger
fix, I think. Regardless, terminology wise it's different information than
"home library," which is what the label is referring to. The labels should be
consistent.

Just adding this to remind myself to fix it, after a period for comment.
