[Evergreen-general] Sharing plans for changing library selector in Angular staff catalog

[Terran McCanna]

About disused Org Units - even after a branch closes completely and all of
the active materials and patrons have been moved off of it so we don't want
it to appear in most dropdown lists, we sometimes still need to run reports
on it. It would be nice to have the option in the reporter to include
non-staff-visible branches. Maybe that is as simple as adding a new report
source in the fieldmapper that can be used instead of the normal Org Unit
source when desired?
