Text to go in the release notes:	This patch updates QR code creation from a bibliographic record in the OPAC to use the canonical version of the URL to the bibliographic record, making the shared URL much shorter and the created QR code less complicated. Note that the system preference OPACDetailQRCode must be set to 'Enable' in order to show the QR code in the bibliographic record's detail page in the OPAC.	Version(s) released in:	24.11.00

Description Michał 2024-07-17 11:32:46 UTC

In /opac-detail.pl page there's an option to show a QR code to open up said record on your phone or share it with others in such a way.

Currently, it simply uses the current `location.href` of the browser. This isn't ideal, because such URL can be much longer, resulting in more complex/harder to scan QR code, plus URL parameters can contain extra junk, such as our previous search query that led us to current record, which we might not necessarily want to share.

Thus, now having simple canonical URLs after the "Depends On" patch was merged in, we can replace these QR codes to link to them instead.

Example old URL: https://koha.example.com/cgi-bin/koha/
opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=12345&query_desc=test
Example new URL: https://koha.example.com/bib/12345

To test:
1. Visit biblio detail page in OPAC
2. Click the button to show QR code in the right pane (preference 'OPACDetailQRCode' must be enabled)
3. Notice that the QR code is much simpler/less complex now
4. Scan the QR code with your phone and confirm it's in the desired format of <URL>/bib/123 and that it opens up properly
