It seems like it would make sense for renewals to be blocked if there is a hard
due date set equal to or before the time the renewal would normally allow it
would block renewing. 
aka:
School branch (branch a) is closing for the summer. 

They set their hard due date to be 5/17/19. Their checkout period is 14 days,
they allow 1 renewal, and the renewal is 14 days. 

Patron at branch b (not closing for the summer) gets a book from branch a on
hold and checks it out 5/3/19. Due date is 5/17/19 and it says they have 1
renewal on the item. There is no warning about a hard due date and it looks
like they should be able to renew it. 

On 5/16/19 they come in and want to renew the item, as their account says there
is a renewal available. When the item is renewed it only gains 1 day. 
The patron has no indication why it is renewing differently than before. 

If the renewal was blocked (box grayed out or changed to zero) staff could
preserve the previous renewal information without as much confusion for
patrons.
