  Target Milestone: ---

Currently the accountlines.accounttype field is used to denote both the 'type'
of a credit or debit and often mixes in it's 'state'. This is bad design and
leads to superflous 'types' in reality.

Examples:
* 'FU' (fine "updating") becomes 'F' (fine) once it's 'fixed'.
* 'FU' (fine "updating") may become 'FFOR' (fine "forgiven").
* 'L' (lost item) may become 'LR' (lost returned).
* 'Rep' (replaced?) may become 'LR' (lost returned).
* 'W' (writeoff) may become 'LR' (lost returned).


These type+state mixes can lead to confusion in both code and end user facing
messages.
