Book drop mode will always subtract the lastincrement value from accrued
overdue fines, even if the loan is so overdue that it reached the max fine
amount prior to effective return date.

For example, if a loan was due on 1/15/2015 and is charged 0.20 per day with a
maximum fine of 1.00, if it is returned on 2/1/2015 (assume no holidays), the
fine should remain at 1.00.  However, currently the fine will be reduced to
0.80 if the item is checked in using book drop mode.

I believe this can also account for the behavior that Kyle reported in bug
12144

Bug 13044 is also relevant here: making book drop mode become a special case of
the SpecifyReturnDate functionality (and in particular, removing the dropbox
logic from _FixOverduesOnReturn) is an opportunity to avoid inappropriate
reduction of max overdue fines.
