[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Book covers from Open Library

[Dan Scott]

I'm running this on our test server at the moment, and it's working
pretty well. The coverage seems good, although (at least on our
server) there seem to be a lot of images that require a refresh before
they come through.

I do think we should backport this to rel_1_6 and rel_1_6_0 so that it
is at least an easy option out of the box. Any objections to my doing
that?
