AllowFineOverride Allow checkout attempt

Emmi, 

I just tested on master and "AllowFineOverride Allow" makes you confirm
override for each patron separately. 
It allows you to override for each patron, but you still have to do each one,
it doesn't just turn off the block for all patrons until the setting is changed
back. 

If you check out to another patron and come back to the original patron who had
their fines overridden, you have to override again to checkout. 

Many libraries that use koha don't allow their staff to override, so by adding
the button without a way to turn it off, that seems like a regression. 
(HEA stats list 732 have it off, 613 have it on at this time.)


The current master with AllowFinesOverride Allow functioned identically to when
your patch was applied with AllowFinesOverride Don't Allow, except you have to
hit the button before you scan the first book rather than after. Personally I
prefer the button first so it is obvious as the start of the transaction. 

I have attached a photo of what the override looked like when I tried to check
a book out to a patron with too many fines, which did some up each time I went
to a patron with too many fines.
