Bug 41404: [25.05.x] Use looks_like_a_number to verify if prefs are set

Bug 41404: Use looks_like_a_number to verify if prefs are set

This check adds a check to ensure we have number, not just defined

To test:
1 - Apply only unit tests patch
2 - Run the tests
    prove -v t/db_dependent/Koha/Patron.t
3 - Apply this patch
4 - Run the tests
5 - They pass!

Bug 41404: (QA follow-up) Add tests for empty string and zero edge cases

This QA follow-up adds comprehensive test coverage for edge cases that
the original patch handles:

1. Empty string values ('') - the default value in sysprefs
   - Verifies that empty strings are treated as "not set"
   - Confirms charge calculations are skipped (performance optimization)
   - Ensures patrons are not blocked

2. Zero values (0) - valid numeric limit
   - Verifies that zero triggers charge calculation (valid number)
   - Confirms patrons are not blocked (0 means "no limit")
   - Documents intended behavior that 0 disables blocking

3. Positive numeric values - normal case
   - Confirms charges are calculated and blocking works correctly

These tests validate that looks_like_number() is the correct approach
rather than simple truthiness checking, as it properly distinguishes
between:
- Empty string '' (not a number, skip calculation)
- Zero 0 (is a number, calculate but don't block)

Test plan:
1. Apply this patch
2. Run the tests:
   prove t/db_dependent/Koha/Patron.t
3. Verify all tests pass
