To speed up the process of receiving serial issues libraries should be able to
set default serial issue values for the subscription when they create the
subscription. 

Currently, it is possible for librarians to set default values for 952 MARC
fields in the bibliographic frameworks but that would set blanket default
values for all subscriptions. 

As different subscriptions are likely to have different 952 MARC field values
it would be useful for libraries to set default values which are only applied
to the serial issue items created for a specific subscription.

The default values they should be able to set when creating the subscription
(in serials/subscription-add.pl) are:

* Collection code
* Subscription full cost

Then when a serial issue is received from the two above values the following
952 subfields will be pre-populated:

* 952$8 Collection Code - Pulled in from default set in
serials/subscription-add.pl
* 952$b Current location - Set to the currently logged in library branch
* 952$d Date acquired - This will be pre-populated upon page load rather than
when you click on the text input field as is the current behaviour
* 952$h Serial Enumeration/ chronology - This will be pre-populated from the
subscription numbering pattern
* 952$v Cost, replacement price - This will be pre-populated from the
calculation of the subscription full cost/number of issues

This would only leave the librarian to input 952$p (barcode) and 952$a
(permanent location), speeding up the cataloguing process of receiving serials.
