During these library closures, it has been apparent that it would be good to
allow the hold notices to be disabled separately from the process message
queue. 

A common scenario is a library wants to process holds but does not want hold
notifications to go out. They also want to have overdues and advanced due
notices to go out. 

I know we can already (or very soon) run the message queue enabled for
different branches, but I feel there needs to be a way to allow the libraries
to be able to manage what is on or off from the interface, and not with a cron
flag as it is done currently.

I've thought of a few ways we might do this

- through the enhanced messaging preferences (allow an override per patron
category or branch for these optional notices) 

- as a different set of flags on the process_message_queue cron

or something else entirely.
