Automatic recovery - Improved handling of duplicate file IDs and transaction-dependent operations

In cases involving transaction-dependent file creates and renames, a duplicate file ID is caused by a system copy of a file, which could cause problems during automatic recovery. Symptoms included recovery failing with internal error 8777, or record counts being incorrect after automatic recovery, or possibly even an unhandled exception in very obscure situations. If automatic recovery opened the renamed file and the original file, their file IDs could conflict, causing internal error 8777. Or the redo of the create could cause the record count in the data file header to be reset to zero, or adjusted for operations on the copied or renamed file.

Automatic recovery has been modified to address this situation.
