When carrying out a renewal transaction Koha should check for both the maximum
number of renewals allowed and also the number of unseen renewals. If it finds
a value equal to or greater than the number of renewals already carried out
against that loan, it prevents the renewal.

The purpose of this is to prevent borrowers from continually renewing a book
when they have, in fact, lost or misplaced it!

When a renewal takes place via a method that doesn't require visible sight or
possession of the item (e.g. OPAC, automatic renewal) then the number of unseen
renewals for that item should be incremented. SIP2 renewals can be considered
seen since they will require the physical item to be scanned.

The number of allowed unseen renewals before a renewal is denied should be
specifiable in the circulation rules.

If a renewal is denied due to the unseen maximum having been reached, the flow
should be the same as when a renewal limit has been reached, though with
appropriate messages displayed to the user. It should be possible to override
the denial in the same was as when a renewal limit is reached.
