Pushed to master.  Thanks, Jonathan!

Being able to set item record values during receiving will be well received,
but I must say that I am not a fan of how things have drifted:

- It would be better to refer to item fields by their names, not how they
happen to be mapped in a MARC framework.  (By the way, I have an itch to stamp
out the use of AddItemFromMarc and ModItemFromMarc, replacing it with direct
calls to AddItem / ModItem, or their eventual DBIC equivalents.  A helper
routine to map a MARC field to an item should be used only when necessary --
during record import, primarily, and not item record editing).
- It's not great that depending on what stage of the process you're dealing
with, the configuration interface is either a syspref or the MARC frameworks.
