If patron P has two overdue items: 
I1 from branch B1 and 
I2 from branch B2, 

then overdue_notices.pl will produce two emails coming from B1 and B2 that have
the same list of BOTH items I1 AND I2 in BOTH emails.

I believe that this is not an intended behavior and that each email coming from
each branch should show overdue items belonging to that respective branch only.

Steps to reproduce:

0/ Have (or create) at least two branches B1 and B2
1/ Make sure you're logged in with an account belonging to B1, or switch to
branch B1
2/ checkout item I1 (belonging to B1) to patron P (preferably while specifying
a due date < today)
3/ switch to branch B2
4/ checkout item I2 (belonging to B2) to patron P (preferably while specifying
a due date < today)
5/ make sure you have defined "Overdue notice/status triggers" for that patron
category, ie with Delay=1 so that "Overdue Notice" is selected and "Email" is
checked.
6/ from cli run 'perl ./misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl' (optionally
specifying also '-library B1 -library B2')
7/ (at least) two new entries will be generated in message_queue DB table,
coming from different branches that have the SAME list of overdue items
8/ either see the 'content' field in these entries, or run 'perl
./cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl' to receive the actual emails (provided the
email is properly setup)

I have verified the same behavior with versions 3.20.x, 3.22.x and master (but
must also apply to all recent Koha versions).
