Bug 12807 - Resurrect Rotating Collections: additions

This is patch is an enchancement patch based on our requirements
(sending in hopes that it could be useful to someone) and is
ment to be applied on top of my squashed rotating collections patch and
focuses mainly on the interface, aiming to streamline workflow and and to
reduce unnecessary page reloads.

Core rotating collection functionality is also changed in that
transfers are now handled on the item level instead of on the collection level.
This allows individual items in the collection to have their own
transfer branches - you can still of course have all items transferred
to the same destination by using the collection transfer feature in the
main view or in the additems-view. Note: as this is a fairly large
change in how collections are handled, this patch cannot be used
directly with collections managed by the old system.

List of larger changes (of the top of my head):
- transferCollection-view has been made redundant with the addition of
  a transfer button and branch select input in the main view.
- editCollections-view has been made redundant with addition of the
  "edit" button in the main view. Note that "Edit collection" still
exists
- datatables used in all the views.
- The main view table has been revamped and some columns have been moved
  around or removed. New columns: Owner(branch of the signed in user on
creation),
Items(count), Transferred(how many items in collection are transferred),
Transfer collection, Edit and Delete.
- New collections can be created directly from the main view using the
  "New collection"-button.
- Item's original home branch (before a transfer) is now recorded on
  transfer (a new database column 'origin_branchcode' in
collection_tracking). The old
collection-level transfer branch in collections is no longer needed but
is not touched by this patch.
- Item's transfer location is now recored on item-level basis (a new
  database column: 'transfer_branch).
- Item's tranfer status is now recorded (a new database column in
  collection_tracking: 'transferred').
- When removing a collection, all items (if any) in that collection get
  removed from collection_tracking and returned to their origin branch.
- addItems-view:
    - Table now shows the item's origin branch, home branch and current
      loc. In addition to these, new columns: "Transferred", "Transfer",
    "Return" and "Remove".
    - Item's title and barcode are now links to the relevant page in
      catalogue.
    - Buttons for individual item transfer, return and removal. The
      transfer button can be used to transfer an individual item to a
    branch (branch selection happens in a bootsrap modal-view). The
    return button can be used to return an item to its origin branch.
    The remove button allows removing an item from the collection without the
need
    for reading a barcode.
    - A button for whole collection transfer.

Sadly, this is *not* a complete list of changes.
