Release maintenance of 20.11.x branch

Released version 20.11.18

Backport list: 4

Bug 28943 - Lower the risk of accidental patron deletion by cleanup_database.pl
Bug 26328 - incremental barcode generation fails when incorrectly converting strings to numbers
Bug 30172 - Background jobs failing due to race condition
Bug 19169 - Add a test to detect unneeded 'atomicupdate' files

Minor stuff

Patchsets analyzed but not backported: 14

This plus the backported patches gives and idea of the stream of patches to process.

Not backported due to one of the following:

severity too low considering this is the oldoldstable branch of Koha, quick analysis
missing dependencies/not affecting my branch
not enough benefits compared to the risks of regression

Backport attempts: 1

Some time needed to determine whether it impacts 20.11 or the feasibility of the backport. And also attempts to backport not possible due to code conflicts.

Maybe found issue: Bug 29271 - Cash register report not displaying or exporting correctly

QA

Notes:

An attempt results in feedback provided on the bug. To ask if I correctly followed the test plan due to results that I couldn't interpret. Or if there is indeed an issue.
Partial QA is a way to contribute to a ticket that I can't QA alone but for which I can apply the test plan and run the QA script. Leaving the functional or code review for someone knowing that area.
