Bug 13934: C4::ItemType->get should return undef if no parameter given
The issue: If you try to check in an item with a non existent barcode,
the application will exploded with a software error:
"Can't bless non-reference at .../ItemType.pm Line 64".
It's caused by:

Bug 11944: Fix encoding issue in C4::ItemType
and the following change:
@@ -105,9 +104,6 @@ sub get {
my $data = $dbh->selectrow_hashref(
"SELECT * FROM itemtypes WHERE itemtype = ?", undef, $itemtype
);
- if ( $data->{description} ) {
- $data->{description} = Encode::encode('UTF-8', $data->{description});
- }
because of the following:
my $s;
$s->{foo} = "bar" if $s->{foo};
use Data::Dumper;warn Dumper $s;
=> {} # not undef
So later,
bless $opts => $class;
will fail because $opts is undef and was not (i.e. {}) before.
More explicit test plan:
1) Log in to staff client
2) Circulation -> Check in
3) Type a non-existent barcode into 'Enter item barcode:' textbox
4) Click 'Submit'
-- Should receive nasty error.
5) apply patch
6) repeat steps 2-4
-- Should be told 'No item with barcode: {what you typed}'
7) prove -v t/ItemType.t
-- All tests should run successfully.
7) run koha qa test tools
Note: Having tried to create and use an itemtype '0', this only
demonstrates a lack of validation on the itemtype creation
screen. Unable to use it without tweaking back end.
That is beyond the scope of this bug.
Note for QA: C4::ItemType->get is only uses in circ/return.pl. So even
if the behavior is changed, it should not introduce any regression
somewhere else.

Works as expected. Fixes the problem and no regressions found.
It even has regression tests :-D
