[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Holds documentation for 2.1

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

Attached is some documentation I've adapted for holds in 2.1 that I would
like to contribute to the 2.1 DIG repository. Most of the documentation is
based on documentation created for previous versions of Evergreen, but I
also added a section on holds notification methods that we found useful in
explaining questions like "why doesn't the phone number on a holds slip
match any number in the patron's record?" 

I think the big change for holds in 2.1 is the addition of parts-level
holds. However, when reviewing the documentation this morning, I noticed
there are some other changes from the documentation created for 1.6 (e.g.
clearing shelf-expired holds, automatic retargeting after marking a pull
list item as missing.) I don't have access to a 2.0 system to see how much
of this was introduced in 2.0 and what is new in 2.1. Would anyone be
willing to run through these instructions on a 2.0 system to see how much
can be re-used for the 2.0 documentation page?

Thanks!
Kathy
