Splitting out the tracking of initial registration branch into separate
enhancement bug. Will fix labeling issue.

> 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
