There is some dead code regarding maintaining relationships between
institutional patrons and the regular patrons who are members of those
institutions.

Specifically:

[1] memberentry.pl, if passed an organisations parameter, attempts to store
relationships in an borrowers_to_borrowers table -- which doesn't exist
[2] memberentry.pl tries to build a list of organization patrons (as defined by
categorycode = 'I', although other bugs suggest that the intention is that
category *type* is 'I') -- but that isn't used.
[3] circ/circulation.pl tries to do the same thing.

Consequently, I propose that this code and references to the
memberofinstitution system preference be completely removed, as right now they
do nothing.  Furthermore, removing the dead code opens up the field if somebody
later wants to do implement patron-to-institution relationships properly.
