Bug 15752: Automatically switch to patron when cardnumber is read during circulation

With this syspref enabled scanning a patron barcode into the item
barcode field during circulation will redirect you to the patron's
circulation page.

This allows circulation with only a barcode scanner.

Testing:

- Enable the AutoSwitchPatron syspref
- Navigate to a patron's check out screen
- Enter a patron barcode into the "Enter item barcode" field

Result
- Browser should be redirected to the entered patron
