[Koha] Problems when setting permissions to patrons

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Marc,

we could check for the existence of the mandatory data maybe, but some
of it might be unselected on purpose by some. For the permission
definitions, maybe we could move them out of the database altogether?
You won't ever want to change them and they are not translatable
currently, although there is a patch waiting to change that:
