Bug Description

Hello, I working on an upgrade from 2.10 to 3.3 and I noticed a few issues with the popularity badges.

The 2.11 release notes don't say anything about needing to add the badge_score_generator.pl to crontab.
https://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_2_11.html#_opac

The TechRef for the feature also doesn't mention needing to setup that script
Evergreen-ILS-3.3.3/docs/TechRef/popularity-rating.adoc

I was just surprised when I tried to see the feature in action and didn't see anything, since the release notes didn't say anything needed to be done to enable the feature.

The docs page mentions a script that needs to be run via cron, but nothing specific.
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/3.0/_statistical_popularity_badges.html

Also, the badge_score_generator.pl script isn't automatically installed in the bin directory by the makefile during evergreen install.

I've pushed to working/user/gmcharlt/lp1847784_badge_generator_cron_job a couple patches to install the cron job by default and to refer to it by name in the documentation:

Committed and picked back to 3.4 (and, accidentally, 3.3). Thanks, Galen and Terran!
