           Summary: item type not recorded correctly in statistics for
                    returns and some local use

When returning a loan, or when returning an item for local use when the
RecordLocalUseOnReturn syspref is on, the corresponding entry in the statistics
table takes the item type from the bib level.

This is incorrect when item-level item types is enabled, and among other
consequences can lead to problematic local use reports from the circ statistics
wizard.  In particular, if the library is also doing checkouts to a stats-only
borrower to record local use, a circ statistics report on local uses that
includes the item type as a row or column can have nonsensical totals because
of the NULL statistics.itemtype value.

The converse problem affects sites that use biblio-level item types, since
local uses recorded from stats-only patrons use the item-level item type
regardless of the setting of item-level_itypes.

The desired behavior is that when recording a local use, the recorded item type
should respect the item-level_itypes system preference.
