Bug 12295: fix Javascript error when merging authorities

Attempting to merge authorities results in the following error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token u authorities-home.pl:284
    showMergingInProgress authorities-home.pl:284
    (anonymous function) authorities-home.pl:297
    o jquery.js:2
    p.fireWith jquery.js:2
    e.extend.ready jquery.js:2
    c.addEventListener.B

This was the result of the upgrade of jquery-cookie by the patch
for bug 11369; newer versions of jquery-cookie changed the return of
$.cookie('foo') from null to undefined when the cookie is not present.

No test plan, no errors.

Test
1. search some authorities
2. click merge, on browser dev console pops reported error message
'Unexpected token u authorities-home.pl...'
No way to marge auths
3. with pach applied, merging works again
