           Summary: OPAC incorrectly marks branch as invalid pickup
                    location when similarly named branch is blocked

           Version: master

         Component: OPAC

When you've got branches with similar branchcodes, the OPAC can get confused
about which should be blocked by transfer limits.

To test:
- have a branch whose code contains the code for another branch, like "TOWN"
and "TOWNSCHOOL"
- Have a third branch with an unrealated code. I'll use "COUNTRY"
- Have an item of item type BOOK, owned by branch COUNTRY
- Set branch transfer limit to not allow BOOKs to go from COUNTRY to TOWNSCHOOL
- confirm that no transfer limit exists for BOOKS from COUNTRY to TOWN
- On staff client, confirm item allows hold for pickup at TOWN but not at
TOWNSCHOOL
- On OPAC, confirm hold is not allowed for pickup at TOWN or TOWNSCHOOL

This seems to be the problematic bit of code:
[% SET pickup_available_at =
bibitemloo.not_available_at.grep(library.branchcode).size ? 0 : 1 %]

So when we grep "TOWN" it also finds "TOWNSCHOOL," sees that block for
TOWNSCHOOL, and applies it to TOWN in error.

This has come to light as library systems deal with closures of some of their
libraries due to coronavirus and start using branch transfer limits more
intensively.
