Here is the test plan for the feature:

[1] In the web staff client, perform a catalog search. From search
    results, choose Place Hold.
[2] In the form that displays, click the 'Patron Search' button.
[3] Verify that a modal with a patron search form is displayed.
[4] Search for a patron, then select one and click the 'Select'
    button.
[5] Verify that the patron's barcode is inserted into the patron
    barcode input.
[6] Verify that submitting the form successfully places the hold.
[7] Verify that the feature works from a bib record details page.
[8] Verify that the Patron Search button does not show up when
    using the place hold form in the public catalog.
[9] Verify that normal patron search, retrieval, and registration
    functionality continues to work, as this patch series does some
    refactoring to create a reusable Angular patron search service
    and templates.

+Patron Search from Place Hold
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Patron Search from Place Hold allows staff members, when placing a
+hold on behalf of a patron in the web staff client, to search for
+patrons by names and other searchable patron information, rather than
+relying on barcode alone. In particular, after performing a catalog
+search or going to a specific bib record and clicking the 'Place Hold'
+button, the form now includes a 'Patron Search' button. This button
+will open a dialog allowing the staff member search for and select
+a patron record.
