Bug 29057: Speed up auto renew cronjob via parallel processing

The cron can take a very long time to run on systems with many issues. For
example, a partner with ~250k auto_renew issues is taking about 9 hours to run.

If we run that same number of holds in 5 parallel chunks ( splitting the number
of issues as evenly as possible, it could take under 2 hours.

Test Plan:
0) Install the Perl library Parallel::ForkManager
1) Generate a number of issues marked for auto_renew
2) Run the automatic_renewals.pl, use the `time` utility to track how much time
it took to run
3) Set parallel_loops to 10 in auto_renew_cronjob section of config in
koha-conf
4) Repeat step 2, note the improvement in speed
5) Experiment with other values
