There are two problems with the feature of creating new authorized values
introduced by bugg 25728

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25728

The MINOR problem is that you can save a new authorized value without actually
entering a new authorized value, you just need a description

The MAJOR problem is that this feature isn't optional!
Introducing a new authorized value is a complex process where you have to take
library limitaions into consideration, authorized values are used in sysprefs
and conjobs, often you have to rewrite some reports when you introduce a new
authorized value &c, &c.
In short: We certainly don't want anyone to create new authorized values on the
fly! Not even I should have that possibility.

We have had this unwelcome feature for some weeks, and there are already dozens
of new athorized values created by mistake.
