A library has requested this feature so it has a real world use case.

The summary of what the patches attached to this bug report will do is create 2
new sysprefs:

1) To write in a borrower name and it will auto-complete with the borrower
record storing the borrower number which is unlikely to change.

When a patron makes a purchase suggestion this is sent to the email address
associated with the borrower number (as long as the second (below) syspref is
enabled). The reason the borrower number not the email address is going to be
stored is that email addresses are more likely to be changed than the borrower
number so from a usability point of view it is best to store the least likely
to be changed value. 


2) To enable or disable the emailing of suggestions to the borrower specified
in syspref 1 (above)
