The existing cronjob for transitioning juvenile patron types to adult patron
types is limited to the point of uselessness. 

It needs to do the following:

- Calculate update date based on the upper age limit defined in the patron
categories.
- Allow libraries to work on all branches or only one.
- Allow libraries to specify which patron category to update child categories
to.
- Allow libraries to specify a single Child patron category to update to an
adult category.

Nice to have, but not essential:

- Have a test mode to display what transforms would be done on the database
without executing the changes.
- email changes completed to the admin email address for the branch upon job
execution.
- allow more granular transitions - a "toddler" category to a "child" category,
for example - one wouldn't need to change the patron type to A in this case.
- allow specifying multiple from and to categories.
- a way to do this from the UI, working in about the same way.
