It appears, in Ryan's patch, that he wants to throw a warning to the log if
the directory specified in --out is not present. (Further messages will
be given when the open-or-die occurs a few lines later.) However, it was
throwing the warning if --out was not specified at all, which is
undesirable. This patch modifies that bit to check for the presence of
whatever directory is going to be used, either --out, ENV{TMPDIR}, or /tmp.
As before, if the write to the directory fails for any reason--including
its' non-existence--that is handled later, but this message will help
inform the troubleshooter.

The problem is that we do not ensure that the issues table has valid
borrowernumber in each line. This is exacerbated by Getoverdues()
returning data sorted BY borrowernumber. So one NULL borrowernumber
in issues prevented ALL fines from being assessed. The actual error
from fines.pl cron log is:
No branchcode argument to new. Should be C4::Calendar->new(branchcode => $branchcode)
at /home/user/kohaclone/misc/cronjobs/fines.pl line 98
This patch deals only with getting fines to avoid crashing. It does
not fix the underlying data integrity problem.

CalcFine returned values that mismatched expectations in fines.pl.
fines.pl refactored: added debugging, prevent needless recreation of
Calendar objects by storing them in hash by branch.
Still outstanding problems with fines, including the output of a field
that has no other references in Koha (so is always undef) and the
incorrect description of FinesMode.
Calendar exported "new" erroneously. I also cleaned up the queries to
avoid needlessly compiling additional statement handles.
Please test and consider application to 3.0 maintenance.
