Bug 29507: Speed up auto renew cronjob via parallel processing
The cron can take a very long time to run on systems with many issues.
For example, a partner with ~250k auto_renew issues is taking about 9 hours to run.

If we run that same number of issues in 5 parallel chunks
( splitting the number of issues as evenly as possible ), it could take under 2 hours.

Test Plan:
1) Generate a number of issues marked for auto_renew
2) Run the automatic_renewals.pl, use the `time` utility to track how much time it took to run
3) Set parallel_loops to 10 in auto_renew_cronjob section of config in koha-conf
4) Repeat step 2, note the improvement in speed
5) Experiment with other values

In order to build .deb packages, following debian packages need to be present
(installed): 
devscripts
pbuilder
dh-make
fakeroot

As root (or sudo) execute:
pbuilder create

Executing build-git-snapshot without any arguments will leave package and the
rest in some pbuilder dir, eg. /var/cache/pbuilder/result It is highly
recommended that --buildresult option is used.
