    Fix filebase corruption caused by FileBase.renew()

    echicken reported this problem: pretty severe filebase corruption as a result of calling FileBase.renew(). The problem seemed pretty obvious (only loading the file's index record), but I do think the underlying SMBLIB functions
    should be more resilient to misuse and not corrupt the base. So, that's still
    a TODO.

    No existing scripts were using FileBase.renew(), so this problem has gone unnoticed since SBBS v3.19.

    Rename the METADATA and metadata properties to AUXDATA and auxdata

    To eliminate confusion with the file-meta-object that this API deals with
    more than anything else.

    echicken's suggestion

    Nothing used this property before now, so this should be fine.

    Log Message:
    Fix misuse of JSVAL_TO_DOUBLE() for "cost" and "size" file-meta-obj properties

    As pointed out by echicken: when setting the "cost" property to any value, the actual
    file's cost would be set to 9223372036854776000 regardless of what number was in the
    provided file metadata object. Most jsval numbers aren't doubles (they're ints) so
    need to use JS_ValueToNumber() to do the proper conversion, regardless of underlying
    type.

    Noticed the same problem with the "size" property.

    Thanks for the tests and report echicken!

    Fix some apparent memory leaks when using file's auxdata

    Nobody's really using this auxdata yet, besides echicken, so no impact for others.

    Log Message:
    When FileBase.update() is called with readd_always=true, update date-added

    The use from addfiles.js (the -readd option) implies this is what's expected. And echicken was suprised the 'added' date/time-stamp wasn't udpated.
