[Koha] OPAC Search Error in KOHA 1711.0001

[Campbell, Colin]

Found another scenario causing this bug. GetItemTypesCategorized returns
itemtypes and searchcategories. (previously only itemtypes were returned by
the now replaced routine). If a searchcategory is used and there is not an
itemtype with the samename the find returns no object, triggering the error.
