[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Selfcheck override events list

[Bill Erickson]

Hi Aleksey,

Your expectations are correct.  It should allow the transaction to
continue.

The setting works by calling the ".override" versions of the checkout or
renewal API call when it receives one of the configured responses.  In
order for this to work, though, the staff account logged in to drive the
self-check UI must have the related .override permission (e.g.
PATRON_EXCEEDS_CHECKOUT_COUNT.override) for every permission that may get
overridden.

Also, beware the setting is not a silver bullet.  For example, PERM_FAILURE
is a red light... it cannot be overridden.
