Bug 12048: restore ability of superlibrarian to see other libraries' subscriptions
This patch fixes a regression in master and 3.14. When a user has
superlibrian permissions, a search on serials subscriptions should
display other libraries' subscriptions even when IndependentBranches
syspref is enabled.
To reproduce/test the bug/patch:
1. Enable IndependentBranches (i.e. 'Prevent' staff...)
2. Login as a user not having superlibrarian permission
3. Search for a serial subscription on:
/cgi-bin/koha/serials/serials-search.pl
4. Search a title which has at least 2 subscriptions: one in the user
branch, and one in another branch
5. On the result page, just 1 subscription is displayed: the one
attached to the userbranch
=> this is normal
6. Login as a user having superlibrarian permission
7. Repeat step 3-5.
8. You get the same result as 5. You should have seen all subscriptions.
That's what you get after applying this patch.

NOTE: I tested a variation. My superlibrarian was a branch that
was not the same as the non-superlibrarian. The serial was
the same branch as the non-superlibrarian. Without the
patch, the superlibrarian saw nothing, with the patch it
saw the serial as expected.
Also, remember the superserials permission can affect the
results. I successfully changed the branch of the
subscription, and then it ceased to show up with
superserials not granted to the non-superlibrarian.
I corrected the system preference name in the text here.

Superlibrarian permission now allows to see all subscriptions
independent from the branch.
Passes all tests and QA script.
But the superserials permission appears broken to me before
and after this patch. If I have superserials - the search
doesn't show all subscriptions. If I don't have superserials
I can still edit any subscription accessing the subscription
detail page through the serial collection page or accessing
the detail page directly by manipulating the URL.
