RVK instance sometimes shows no mapping editor #514

Several users had an empty Mapping Editor at https://coli-conc.gbv.de/cocoda/rvk/. Spotted at least on Windows with Firefox but not always. May be related to #513

Happens to me in Firefox as well. I don't think it has anything to do with #513 though, I see a lot of error message on the console that look like there's something wrong with the configuration. I think I can figure it out.

This should be fixed now. The bug happened where the user has not selected a mapping registry and was also not authorized to save into any mapping registry. This hasn't happened before because we also had local mappings, so the fallback for the getter for the current mapping registry worked. For now, I adjusted the fallback to use any registry which allows saving mappings even if the user is currently not authorized.

This should be fixed properly at some point, see #515.
