[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Web Client Default Grid Columns

Hi all!

We are preparing to migrate to Sitka Evergreen in April.

One issue we are are having with the current versions of Evergreen we
are testing is the default columns are not terribly sensible or useful
to library staff.  This is compounded by the difficulty transferring
these settings to another workstation.

I've found this Chrome extension which allows you to see, and more
importantly export settings from the web client:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/localstorage-manager/fkhoimdhngkiicbjobkinobjkoefhkap/related

I've also set up some columns to some slightly more sensible defaults
based on our legacy ILS.  I don't actually work at the circ desk, and
we're not live on Evergreen yet so it's hard for me to say if these
are ideal, but they're definitely an improvement IMO.

To use them, install the above extension, then click "Import" and
paste the contents of this txt file in the box.

I'm not totally sure if there is other work happening on this, I read
somewhere about these settings being moved to the database.  Anyway
I've added this info to an LP bug as well.
