[Koha] Koha 2.2.3 + basic authentication

[Jared Jennings]

I believe I've uncovered a bug in Koha's handling of basic
authentication in 2.2.3.

If you log in using sesion ID's and cookies and all this, the
checkauth function will sooner or later have a line like:
$flags = haspermission($dbh, $userid, $flagsrequired);

This will happen before it returns $flags.

But in the case of basic authentication, $flags is never assigned
anything before it is returned. The result of this is that when I use
basic authentication, I can't see any parameters in the parameters
page. Nigel Titley <nigel at titley.com> was having some problems like
this around July 30, 2005.

When I applied this change to
/usr/local/lib/koha/intranet/modules/Auth.pm, I could see all the 
parameters on the parameters page that I should be able to see as a
superlibrarian. The patch follows.
