After a few cron jobs related to authority records
(misc/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl,
misc/link_bibs_to_authorities.pl) were set up to run on our instance, I went to
check the Log Viewer tool but couldn't tell that they were configured. I was
told that only newer cron jobs actually appear in the logs, and on inspecting
those two I saw that they lacked the call to `cronlogaction()` which our
circulation-related cronjobs have. It'd be helpful to know if/when these jobs
ran.

I realize this is a bit debatable because those two scripts don't reside in
misc/cronjobs and right now the only scripts that call `cronlogaction()` are in
that directory. Is it appropriate to add that logging to these scripts? We do
run them on a schedule, it's important to our authority records workflow. This
is the complete list of ones I'd like to add logging to:

- misc/link_bibs_to_authorities.pl
- misc/cronjobs/merge_authorities.pl
- misc/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl

A side note: there are several scripts in misc/cronjobs, like
merge_authorities.pl, that are not logged and probably should be, but that is a
larger bug and I'd like to focus on these first since they're relevant to us.
