Hey, thanks Nick!
Yeah, I think bug 34676 should definitely be made a duplicate of this.

I've signed-off and I believe this is good to go, although I have 2
observations:
1) With this new enhancement, would there ever be a situation where using RTHQ
without the cron build_holds_queue.pl --force --unallocated be advisable?
In other words, it seems that it would always be beneficial to run RTHQ in
conjunction with the cron build_holds_queue.pl --force --unallocated, in order
to catch unallocated holds "just in case".
If the above is true, we're moving from:
"It's recommended to use RTHQ or the build_holds_queue.pl cron, not both"
to
"RTHQ should be used in conjunction with build_holds_queue.pl --force
--unallocated cron".

This works, but it may be confusing in terms of system administration. Maybe
not, ignore if that's the case.

2) Should we rename the unallocated option to unallocated-only to make it
clearer? We're not adding "unallocated" on top of what the script already does,
instead we're making the script consider unallocated holds only, correct?
Ignore if not.
