           Summary: Issuingrules not checked when returning item and
                    allocating to bib-level holds

  Target Milestone: ---

Currently, when an item is returned the values in the issuingrules are not
checked when determining whether to allocate that item to a bib-level hold,
based on the item's itemtype and the requesting patrons patron category. 

This means hold rules defined in the issuingrules table are not being respected
when allocating an item to a bib-level hold. 

For example, A biblio 'Fish' has items with two different item types 'BK' and
'CR'. 

In the circulation rules the patron category 'B' (Board) with the item type
'BK' has a reservesallowed value of 0 and a holds_per_record value of 0. 

Patron A (who has a patron category of 'B') can place a bib-level hold on
'Fish' biblio as there is an item with itemtype of 'CR' which they are
permitted to reserve. 

If the 'BK' item is returned first then that will be allocated to fill patron
A's bib-level hold, even though in the issuingrules 'B' patrons cannot place a
hold on 'BK' items.
