Item 1:  Implement an 'Volume Append Duration' pool directive

Origin:  Brian Debelius, bdebelius at intelesyscorp.com

What:  An 'Volume Append Duration' pool directive.  This directive would 
set a window of time after the last write to a tape, after which the 
tape is marked used.  This would be a complement to the Volume Use 
Duration directive.

Why:  Sometimes when a job pauses for whatever reason, the backup run is 
interrupted long enough for the Volume Use Duration to be exceeded and 
the currently loaded tape is mark used before the entire backup run is 
complete.  With the Volume Append Duration, I can set the tape to be 
marked used after x hours of no use.  This would give more flexibility 
in determining when a tape gets marked used.

Notes:  Volume Append Duration or Volume Use Duration may be used, OR 
both may be used in a pool definition.  If both are used then then they 
are ANDED together, in that they both must be true for the tape to be 
marked used.
