Text to go in the release notes:
This fixes the cause of unnecessary "use of uninitialized value" warnings in the log files generated by Circulation > Overdues with fines (/cgi-bin/koha/circ/branchoverdues.pl). This was caused by not taking into account that the "location" parameter for this form is initially empty.
Version(s) released in:
21.05.00, 20.11.03,20.05.09,19.11.15

Bug 27548: "use of uninitialized value" warning on branchoverdues.pl

On the beginning we have empty "location" parameter for this form, but that not taken into account in comparison and undef warning emitted: "Use of uninitialized value $location in string eq at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/circ/branchoverdues.pl line 72" in branchoverdues.pl
Fixed by adding pre-check for $location.

To reproduce:
    1) Head over to "Circulation ->Overdues with fines" page. Check intranet-error.log where there will be many warnings "Use of uninitialized value $location in string eq at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/circ/branchoverdues.pl line 72".
    2) Apply the patch, refresh the "Overdues with fines" page.
    3) Ensure that the new "use of uninitialized value" warnings didn't appear in the console.

Testing notes:
- When using koha-testing-docker the warnings are logged to /var/log/koha/kohadev/plack-intranet-error.log

I've reformatted the commit message a little bit for better readability on command line (adding line breaks).
