There is a problem with expiring reserves. 

Let us say an items has two holds placed on it, and is set to waiting for the
first hold. This hold is then canceled for waiting too long, yet it will remain
sitting on the holds shelf until a librarian either returns it to the shelf, or
sets it too waiting for the next person in line to get it. 

During the interim, the item will appear to be available for checkout. This is
not a problem most of the time, as the holds expire late at night and the
librarians will take care of it in the morning, but over a holiday weekend, it
is possible that an item will remain in this state for days at a time.

We can fix this situation by adding a system preference to decide of waiting
holds should be canceled on holidays, or not.
