[Koha] Bulk Deletion of Authorities Not Linked to a Title

[Tim McMahon]

If you don't have administrator access, you'll have to have someone else 
do it.  If you do, you can type 'sudo koha-shell asdlib' then enter your 
password.

Then use 
'/usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl -t' to 
do a test run and
'/usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/remove_unused_authorities.pl -c' to 
confirm you really want to remove unused authorities.

They can take a while.  The test runs longer because it outputs 
information about all authorities.
