[Evergreen-general] Checking out bookbags

[Terran McCanna]

I have  not seen anything like this done, but you might want to look at the
curbside pickup module for ideas.

Once a patron's items are collected and staged for pickup there, staff can
very easily check them out to the patron without re-scanning or going
through the whole normal checkout process.
