Bug 18854 - Protect from DOS

There was a bug that meant a very large offset in the search params
will cause the search script to run forever (or long enough to crash
the machine)

To test

1/ Get ready with sudo top so you can kill the thread before it causes
your machine to OOM
2/ Hit a page like yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=1&offset=-9999999999999999999
3/ Notice the process runs for a long time
4/ Kill the process
5/ Apply the patch
6/ Hit the page again, notice the it loads (offset is set to zero)
7/ Do the same to search in the staff client
