I cannot really comment on the previous patch, but in my opinion, adding the
max holds to the circulation rules has broken the max holds system. Circ rules
are a combination of Library, Patron Type and Item Type. When using item level
Item Types, we cannot know if placing the hold will violate these rules in
advance, as a given record could have items with different item types. The
holds rules should really be pulled out of the circ rules and given a separate
table where the are set only by Library and Patron Category.

This patch does not address this problem. Since we cannot know if the Holds
Allowed rules will be violated in advance, we must simply rely on maxreserves.

If I am mistaken, or you have an idea that would rectify this situation, please
let me know!
