[Evergreen-dev] Batch copy deletes

[Josh Stompro]

We are using copy_delete_from_csv.pl from Jason Stephenson's
evergreen_utilites repo at
https://github.com/Dyrcona/evergreen_utilities

There is some setup to do that is described in the Readme for the repo if I
remember correctly.

You feed the script a list of copy barcodes in csv format.

cat copiestodelete.csv | ./copy_delete_from_csv.pl

There is also a script for deleting copies in a copy bucket there.  Might
be useful if you already have the copies in buckets.

The scripts do force deleting empty bibs, which works for us because we
have the system preference set to not do that by default.  (Our cataloger
will sometimes delete all the on order copies before adding the real copies
which would trigger the bib to be deleted if we had that preference set.)
We only want to delete empty bibs as part of our withdraw process.

It uses delete_copy from
https://gitlab.com/LARL/evergreen-larl/-/blob/main/Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Application/Cat/AssetCommon.pm#L547
