[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] marking a patron barcode inactive

[Thomas Berezansky]

Fair warning on that:

If the barcode in question is not the patron's current *primary*  
barcode then there is no way outside of direct database access to flag  
that barcode as inactive prior to 2.2.

The "Replace Barcode" code moves the current primary barcode to a  
secondary non-active barcode and creates a new active primary barcode.  
No other cards on the patron are affected.
