We would like to deprecate using the cron switch in favor of the preference.
Unfortunately, we don't have a code path forward to set the patron preferences
to a default that won't cause changes. The idea would be that libraries using
the cron switch should set the patron messaging preferences to match their
case, and then update the preference.  

The 'never' option should do what it says and disable auto-renewal notices.
