Reindexing (at least with Zebra) leads to search not working for some duration
of time, depending on the size of the catalogue. So often you want to do
reindexing at night, when use of Koha is low. But remembering to start the
indexing process before you go to bed at night is error prone. 

We could have a syspref called something like "DoReindexInTheMiddleOfTheNight",
and a cronjob that runs "in the middle of the night", and checks the syspref. 

- If it has been set to "on", a reindex is triggered and the syspref is reset
to "off".

- If it is set to "off", nothing happens.
