Minor issue:  if a single borrower has both merging titles on hold, this patch
does not reduce the two lines in reserves to one.  This has some implications:

a) the holds priority order can be adjusted safely, no issues there
b) when the hold is marked 'waiting' for the patron, BOTH lines are changed to
waiting; the rest of the priority list is okay
c) but when the material is actually checked out to them, only one of the lines
is marked "filled".  The other is put back into first-place priority!

This issue will come up any time a borrower has multiple holds on the same
title, so this does extend beyond the scope of this particular issue.  It is
set to be addressed in the Holds Rewrite project.  Once we have a primary key
on reserves, this should no longer be an issue.

In the meantime, is this a common enough problem to prevent this patch from
being integrated?  Adding this will make merge actually usable in most every
case but this fringe, which is a vast improvement.  But I don't want to set
libraries up for failure, even in a rare case.  Thoughts?
