Add a Z39.50 Linker that searches for authority links in the specified Z39.50
server.

This patch adds a Z39.50 Linker which searches for authority links on a remote
server.

If a matching authority is found, it's imported in the local database for
linking with the current biblio record.

If no matching authority was found on the remote server, the Linker falls back
to a local authority search.

Configuration :
* The option "Z39.50 Server" is added to the LinkerModule preference. You must
choose this to use the new Linker.
* The preference LinkerZ3950Server is required and specifies which server to
use for linking. It must contain the "name" of the server, as defined in the
z3950servers table.
* You can set the "local_first" option in the LinkerOptions preference to force
the Linker to search for authorities in the local database first. If no local
authority match was found, the Linker falls back to a remote Z39.50 search.

This patch depends on code added in Bug 11299, and must be applied after it.
