[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Lost Materials Processing Fee - Option to not void on return

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

Hi Josh,

There are a few true/false library settings related to voiding processing
fees:

Void processing fee on lost item return
Void lost item processing fee when claims returned
Void processing fee on long-overdue item return
Void longoverdue item processing fee when claims returned

Would setting that first one to FALSE get you what you're looking for?
