Copy notes could easily be displayed in search results - we're already
grabbing them, just not displaying them - but as search results and
record details currently use different methods to retrieve essentially
the same bib record / call number / copy information (unapi SQL function
for search results, json_query Perl method for record details), we would
need to add the 'acpn' (copy note) field to the json_query in
OpenILS::Application::AppUtils::basic_opac_copy_query(). Shouldn't be
very hard to go this route.

At some point, though, we should settle on one really complex way of
grabbing this info, rather than having two really complex ways. I had
been working towards that with unapi, but ran out of time to accomplish
that for the 2.2 deadline.
