Bash script to bulk export patron images from a Koha instance and generate DATALINK.TXT to import into another instance

I was trying to bulk export patrons images[0] so I created a bash script (attached) to export them all. This script will also generate a "DATALINK.TXT" to easily import into other Koha instance.

Usage: User have to just edit parameters section and run it on the host where MySQL database is. For security reasons will always prompt for password.

The attached script wasn't working on current stable release. I've updated on this two places:
- https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian_packages_script_library#Bulk_export_patrons_images
- https://gist.github.com/pabloab/347dc307a9650a5c4309c8fd6296c906
Tested on 17.11 and 18.05.
