Bug 6557: add script to update totalissues from stats

NAME
       update_totalissues.pl

SYNOPSIS
         update_totalissues.pl --use-stats
         update_totalissues.pl --use-items
         update_totalissues.pl --commit=1000
         update_totalissues.pl --since='2012-01-01'
         update_totalissues.pl --interval=30d

DESCRIPTION
       This batch job populates bibliographic records' total issues count
       based on historical issue statistics.

       --help  Prints this help

       -v|--verbose
               Provide verbose log information (list every bib modified).

       --use-stats
               Use the data in the statistics table for populating total
               issues.

       --use-items
               Use items.issues data for populating total issues. Note that
               issues data from the items table does not respect the --since
               or --interval options, by definition. Also note that if both
               --use-stats and --use-items are specified, the count of biblios
               processed will be misleading.

       -s|--since=DATE
               Only process issues recorded in the statistics table since
               DATE.

       -i|--interval=S
               Only process issues recorded in the statistics table in the
               last N units of time. The interval should consist of a number
               with a one-letter unit suffix. The valid suffixes are h
               (hours), d (days), w (weeks), m (months), and y (years). The
               default unit is days.

       --incremental
               Add the number of issues found in the statistics table to the
               existing total issues count. Intended so that this script can
               be used as a cron job to update popularity information during
               low-usage periods.

       --commit=N
               Commit the results to the database after every N records are
               processed.

       --test  Only test the popularity population script.

=== TESTING PLAN ===

NOTE: in order to test this script, you will need to have some sort of
circulation data already existing in your Koha installation.

1) Disable UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc
2) Run: misc/cronjobs/update_total_issues.pl --use-items -t -v
3) If you have total checkout data in your item records (i.e. anything
   in 952$l), you should see messages like "Processing bib 43 (1 issues)"
4) Choose one of the lines that shows more than 0 issues, and view the
   record with that biblionumber in the staff client, choosing the "Items"
   tab (moredetail.pl). Add up the "Total checkouts" listed for each item,
   and confirm it matches what the script reported
5) Run: misc/cronjobs/update_total_issues.pl --use-stats -t -v
6) If you have any circulation statistics in your database (i.e. any
   'issue' entries in your statistics table), you should see messages
   like "Processing bib 43 (1 issues)";
7) Choose one of the lines and view the record with that biblionumber in
   the staff client, choosing the "Items" tab (moredetail.pl). If you
   count the number of checkouts listed in each item's checkout history,
   the total should match what the script reported.
8) Check out an item
9) Run: misc/cronjobs/update_total_issues.pl --use-stats --since=1h -t -v
10) You should see one line reporting a single circ for the bib record
    associated with the item you just checked out (there may be more if
    you checked out any books in the hour prior to running these tests
11) If the results in steps 4, 7, and 10 match the predictions, the
    script worked
