Bug 42734: Add autoMemberNumValue to patrons sysprefs UI with caution note

This patch adds autoMemberNumValue to the Patrons system preferences
page immediately below autoMemberNum, so superlibrarians can view and
correct a runaway counter without needing vendor support.

The entry carries a caution note explaining:
- the value is managed automatically and should not normally be changed
- Koha generates the next cardnumber from max(counter, live_db_max),
  so lowering the counter only has effect once the patron responsible
  for the inflated number has been deleted or had their cardnumber
  corrected first
- the risk of setting it too low: potential re-issuance of a previously
  used cardnumber, which may grant a new patron access to third-party
  services linked to the original holder
