Details:

Currently, it is only possible to use warehouse but this force to create many
warehouse if the hospital have many pharmacies. And also it force to use the
default storage location from the warehouse as stock location for the
pharmacy.

In the case of many pharmacy, the hospital may want to manage all its stock
under a single warehouse because they probably have a single purchase
department. So having many warehouses complicate the task because a lot of
order point will need to be created while this could be simply managed under a
single warehouse.

For the second case, as there is no assignation process, this force to have
the picked location of the pharmacy as the default storage. This means that
reception of the products go directly in the pharmacy storage. In many cases,
this is not something people wants. They want to have a big long term storage
where the reception of the product is done and just fill the small storage of
the pharmacy.

The solution is to use a location on the pharmacy instead of a warehouse. This
will brings much more flexibility without removing any feature as the
locations of different pharmacies could be under different warehouse (or a
single one (new feature)).

According to previous discussion, Luis wants to keep the possibility to use
the warehouse as pharmacy location even if it doesn't provide any special
features. So here is a patch that implements this solution.
