Bug 25189: Don't create authority if results found
Automatic authority creation assumes that if we don't match we need a new
authority.
Using the Default linker, however, we don't match if there exists more than one
match.
This leads to repeatedly generating authorities once there is a duplicate in
the system
We shoudl instead only create a new authority if there are no results
To test:
1 - Set Linker Module to 'Default'
2 - Enable AutoCreateAuthorities and BiblioAddsAuthorities and
CatalogModuleRelink and LinkerRelink
3 - Add two copies of a single authority via Z39
4 - Add a heading for that authority to a bib record
5 - Save the record and note a new authority is generated
6 - Repeat and see another is generated
7 - Apply patch
8 - Restart all the things
9 - Save the record again, no new authority created
