[Koha-patches] [PATCH] Bug 6716: Document biblioitems and deletedbiblioitems

[Nicole C. Engard]

This patch documents the biblioitems and the deletedbiblioitems
tables.  There are many fields left undocumented because I didn't see
information in them, but this is enough of a start to be helpful to
those writing reports.
