Currently additional patron attributes are always strings. It would be really
useful to be able to specify what data type an additional attribute should be
when it is created, like you can specify whether it has to be unique, or is
repeatable. e.g. we might want it to be a DATE, or possibly a DATETIME, or we
may indeed want a STRING, or an INT, or a DECIMAL etc - it really depends on
what a given library is using the attributes for, and how they might want to
run reports against it.

This would be a more holistic way to deal with Bug 6339.
