Prompt to print/email "on-demand" slips and receipts

If Prompt for delivery method for on-demand slips and receipts is selected and the borrower is receiving slips via email then we'll pop up a message asking staff whether they want to print, email, or email and print the slip.

This applies to receipts and refunds, and to on-demand slips, i.e. those for onloan items, overdue items, lost loans, loans reported lost, outstanding transactions, outstanding charges, loans claimed never borrowed, and loans claimed returned.

If receipts and refunds are set to prompt then the message gives the option "No" as well as print, email, or email and print.

Prompt for delivery method for on-demand slips and receipts does not apply to "automatic" slips, i.e. the ones that are printed based on the slip printing settings: issues, renewals, returns, item status, intransit, reservation, reservation intransit, profile matching and item notes.
