[Koha] importing authorities

[Nicole Engard]

Ian do you know what command I need to type and what file I need to
create to use bulkauthimport.pl?

And Owen - yeah I think we should have some default Auth records we
can fill the system with like we do with catalog data and patrons.

I would think it wouldn't be that difficult to modify the Stage MARC Records for Import tool to do authorities as well as biblios.  My cataloger tells me that authorities are going to be particularly important in RDA, so we may want to consider beefing up that end of the codebase.  I will happily look into it as I get the time.
