Patch adds a new itemBarcodeInputFilter for libsuite8 style barcodes

This patch emulates the functionality of Libsuite8 software of converting the
scanned barcode into one stored in Koha using the itemBarcodeInputFilter system
preference.

To use this new itemBarcodeInputFilter systempreference choice called
'libsuite8', the barcodes stored in Koha must match the pattern of
<branchcode>-<itemtype_code>-<accession_number>. This is easy to achieve while
doing retrospective conversion from Libsuite8 to Koha.

As expected the itemBarcodeInputFilter will return unmodified barcode is
presented with a barcode of pattern
<branchcode>-<itemtype_code>-<accession_number>

The perl code in C4/Circulation.pm is ugly and NEEDS major code cleanup. All
help is much appreciated..
