Add an option to send notices based on amount owed.  Creates two sysprefs,
EnableOwedNotification to turn on the feature, and OwedNotificationValue to set
the threshold amount owed to trigger a billing notice.  Requires a new notice
named BILLING.  Nightly cron job script sends billing notices based on the
threshold value (with an option to print notices to HTML file for patrons
without email addresses, similar to option in Bug 3482 enhancement.

A separate script looks for billing notices with no payment made after the date
sent (after a specified elapsed time).  It charges a debt collect fee to the
patron account and formats output for Unique Management Inc. collection agency.
 The script also looks for any payments made after the patron was sent to debt
collect, and outputs an update for the agency.  The output file is emailed to
addresses specified in the command line parameters.

(Debt collect scripts for other agencies could be written, also basing off the
BILLING notice and a specified elapsed time.)
