Currently, if you run multiple instances on a server, you can not easily
configure for some, but not others, that holds not picked up will automatically
cancelled. 

The cronjob used is:
misc/cronjobs/holds/cancel_expired_holds.pl

If it's scheduled, the feature is active for all instances - or you'd have to
maintain a list, change the default cron files etc.

It would be nice if this feature was tied to a new system preference, so that
you can easily activate/deactivate it from within Koha and without accessing
the server.

This might also be useful for libraries that want to wait a little longer with
cancelling in some cases, for example after a holiday period or when the
library has been closed for a while.
