[Evergreen-catalogers] Automatic call number fill in

[Thomas Berezansky]

In theory, instead of altering the generic, couldn't a "Blank/Custom"  
be added and set as the default?

I will admit to not having looked at the issue fully, so it could be  
that for some reason the system is hardcoded to only support the  
three....but I don't recall seeing anything to indicate that.
