Instead of relying on a system preference to determine whether there is only a
single branch in the system or not, why not just count how many distinct
branches are in the branches table?  This will reduce the number of moving
parts, so to speak.

Proposed subroutine in C4::Branch:

GetBranchCount().  No inputs, returns integer value 0 or greater, corresponding
to the output of SELECT count(*) FROM branches;

Once this subroutine is in place, we can slowly remove references to
singleBranchMode syspref, which will fix numerous bugs involved with that
particular feature.
