The list of variables available to selectively add to a notice can be
misleading.  They are currently a list of database field names selected by the
module which the notice has been assigned to.. however not all notices actually
pass all these tables into GetPreparedLetter and so not all variables are
always supported and sometimes additional 'hidden' ones are available.

We should clarify this and add support for TT variables at the same time.

I believe we could/should do this within C4::Letters itself with a
configuration block that lists accepted variables (tables, substitutions, loops
etc) which can then be used both to construct the lists in the UI and also to
check that the calls to GetPreparedLetter are indeed passing in the
required/listed variables we list.
