            Bug ID: 14695
           Summary: Add ability to place multiple item holds on a given

Currently Koha only allows one hold to be placed on a given bib per patron,
even it the record has multiple items. This enhancement will give Koha the
ability to place a hold on at least two items on the same bibliographic record.
For example, in the case of a television season DVD which has one record but
many unique items.

Work to be done:
1) Locate all code in Koha that checks for a patron already having a hold on a
record
2) Add a new system preference to define the number of holds allowed per record
3) Create new subroutine/method to check for this
4) Implement call to new sub in areas defined in part 1
5) Ensure no code in C4::Reserves assumes that it can modify holds based on
borrowernumber only

This is not the first attempt at such a feature, but previous iterations are
far out of date. It's time for a fresh start.
