Improve E-Resource Activation Task handling for additional copy ebook orders
Currently when an additional copy of an already active ebook is ordered, there is no e-resource task added to the Electronic Resource Activation Task List, since the resource is already active. However, we add interested users to almost all of our ebooks, and if there is no activation task, the interested users are never being notified.
If the ebook order is already on an active item, it would be nice if the interested users would automatically be notified, or just have an e-resource activation task added as normal to fulfill the process of notifying the interested users.

In addition, the POL does not move from "sent" status to "waiting for invoice" status until it is added as a e-activation task. We order from Rialto, and we now have to rely on our librarians to let us know if a license upgrade has been purchased. Since there is no task created upon order in Rialto, we have no idea. And the access model is still the old model attached to the previous order so not accurate.
