Bug 27652: Display patron's categories for sysprefs expecting them

This patch adds a new type of system preference entry option: patron
category. A preference with this type will show either a <select> with
patron categories to choose from or a multiple-select menu for choosing
one or more.

This prevents possible errors from incorrect category codes being
entered manually.

To test, apply the patch and run the database update.

- Go to Administration -> System preferences.
- Test each of the updated preferences to confirm that the available
  options are correct and that your selections are correctly saved.

  - Single category selections, PatronSelfRegistrationDefaultCategory
    and GoogleOpenIDConnectDefaultCategory. With each of these you
    should see a dropdown where you can select of all the existing
    patron categories.

  - Multiple selections, OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup and
    BatchCheckouts: These preferences should have an option for
    selecting one or more system preferences at once.

- Test the pages affected by the updated system preferences:

- With BatchCheckouts enabled, confirm that the batch checkout page is
  correctly limited by patron category.

- Set the OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup preference to "Don't allow" and
  select at least one patron category in the
  OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions preference.
- Log in to the OPAC as a patron whose category was not selected in
  the OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions preference.
- Try to place a hold on an item which is available at a library.
- When confirming the hold, the libraries where the item is available
  should be disabled in the "Pick up location" dropdown.
- Repeat the process as a patron whose category was selected in
  OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions. There should be no disabled
  pickup locations.
