             Bug #: 5800
           Summary: Hold Policy "home library only" incompatible with
                    CircControl "patron home library"

If a branch's Hold Policy for an item (or default) is configured to only allow
holds for patrons belonging to that branch (value = 1), and the CircControl
system preference is set to PatronHomeLibrary, the Holds Policy breaks.  The
holds policy from the patron's home library is used, which, unless it's set to
deny ALL holds, will let them place a hold on any item at any library,
regardless of that libraries Hold Policy.

The root of the problem is using _GetCircControlBranch to generate the
$branchcode used for determining the Hold Policy.  Unfortunately, using
$item->{homebranch} universally would not always work for libraries who want
the item's current holding branch to set the policies.
