Bug 11023: Toggle "new" status

This patch adds:
- a new DB field items.new.
- a new page to configure this new status
  (tools/toggle_new_status.pl).
- a new cronjob script (misc/cronjob/toggle_new_status.pl).

Why this status is useful for some libraries ?
The use cases are:
- to know easily what are the new items (with a simple sql query).
- to display an icon in the search results.
- issuing rules can be adapt for new items. Automatically (using the
  cronjob script), the status change (depending the configuration) and
  the item can be issued, for example.
- a RSS/Atom feeds can be created on these new items.

Test plan:
- log in with a librarian having the tools > items_batchmod permission.
- navigate to Home > Tools > Toggle new status
- click on the edit button
- there are 3 "blocks":
  * duration: the duration during an item is considered as new.
  * conditions: the status will change only if the conditions are meet.
  * substitutions: if there is no substitution, no action will be done.
    You can add some change to apply to the matching items.
    E.g. ccode=3
         new=''
    If the value is an empty string (in other words, the input does not
    contain anything), the field will be deleted.
  You can create as many rules as you want.
- test the interface : add/remove rule, conditions, substitutions,
  submit the form, edit, etc.
  (There is a looot of JS everywhere, so certainly a looot of bugs...).
- when you have your rules defined, you can now launch the cronjob
  script without any parameter.
  A report will be displayed with the matching itemnumber and the
  substitutions to apply. Verify results are consistent.
- launch the script with the -c argument and verify values have been
  modified depending the substitution rules.
