[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circ Modifier Count Groups

[Thomas Berezansky]

Those are very limiting in their current form. The current system only  
counts checkouts at the circ lib, its descendants, and its ancestors.  
It also only works if the rule is applied to the most specific rule of  
those that apply to the circulation when fallthrough is in use.

I coded a new version, however, that is awaiting review. It was  
designed to work well with fallthrough and support much more varied  
configurations:
