Bug 31415: Script to automate converting reserves to recalls

This patch adds a script which can be used to automatically convert the
oldest reserve on a record to a recall, if there are a specified minimum
number of reserves on the record.

To test:
1) Enable UseRecalls and configure circulation rules relevant to
recalls. Keep the 'on shelf recalls allowed' setting to 'any' for the
sake of testing ('all' would require all items to be checked out for the
reserve to be converted to a recall)
2) Check out items from multiple records (at least 2 different records)
to Patron A.
3) Place multiple reserves on each record (at least 2 reserves).
4) Place multiple reserves on another record which has no items checked
out.
5) We now have multiple records where the oldest reserve is eligible for
recall, plus a record where the oldest reserve is NOT eligible for
recall (because no items are checked out).
6) In your terminal, get into the shell and run the script. -v means
verbose and will print the reserves that are converted into recalls.
--min 1 means there must be more than 1 reserve on the record to be
considered.
  sudo koha-shell INSTANCE
  perl misc/cronjobs/recalls/convert_reserves_to_recalls.pl -v --min 1
7) Confirm that, for the records where items are checked out and there
are multiple reserves, the oldest reserve was converted into a recall
8) Confirm that, for the record where no items are checked out, the
reserves all remain and not converted into a recall.
9) Confirm documentation for the script looks good
