           Summary: Allow renewal of item with unfilled holds if other
                    available items can fill that hold

The current holds behavior in Koha allows a situation like this:
- Patron A has an item currently checked out.
- Patron B places a hold on the next available copy of that title.
- Then Patron A will not be able to renew his item, even if there are other
available copies of that title that could potentially fill Patron B's hold.

Since this seems unfair to Patron A, we should allow renewal of items even if
there are unfilled holds, but those holds could all be filled with currently
available items.
