Elliott's latest patches fix my issues with saving rules, and loading patron's
with checkouts.

One small issue around the data conversion: old issues are translated to being
due at 23:00 on the day in question, but new materials checked out under daily
loan rules are due at 23:59.  This is inconsistent, and should be changed as a
matter of the conversion.

I've set up my system to use the standard fines.pl crontab, running at 01:20
every day.  I'll check in the morning to see how it's handled an hourly loan
with a fine interval of '1' (which I would assume means hours in this case).

Minutes should be supported as a valid interval, per the RFC.  This can be
added in a follow up patch, but it should come soon, so libraries can 30 min
loan periods (or less, if need be).

On this GitHub branch, please notice that DB rev 3.05.00.020 is used for Hourly
Loans work instead of the value it is actually assigned in master.  This will
be a small merge issue with master, when the time comes.  Also, including all
the hourly loans database changes in updatedatabase.pl will be required.

Thank you to Elliott Davis for his hard work on fixing and adapting this code
to meet my testing requirements.  I shall continue testing.  Even if we cannot
have this ready by 3.6, we will have a very strong candidate for inclusion
early in 3.8 cycle.
