    Log Message:
    File's meta-object's "size" and "time" properties reflect current values

    Query the disk for file's current "size" and "time" values when get_list() or get() method is used with a "detail" level of >= DETAIL.NORMAL and the "check file existence" toggle option is enabled for this directory in SCFG.

    I pondered and contemplated whether this configuration setting should be checked/applied here or in the various JS scripts (e.g. filelist.js) and decided here was best to provide the most uniform/expected behavior, even though there is a performance impact. If a script doesn't need/use these properties, they should probably be specifying the DETAIL.MIN (minimal) detail level in their queries anyway, which will then bypass these performance-impacting disk queries.

    FileBase.update() method throws more exceptions upon error

    This will help to determine cause of any file update (e.g. rename)
    failures, as reported by Nelgin.

    Log Message:
    Don't allow FileBase.update() to create a duplicate file

    FileBase.update() will now throw an exception if attempting to rename a file
    to a filename that already exists in the filebase index.

    Prior to this change, one could (via JS methods) rename a file in the base to create a duplicate filename which would corrupt the base (one index entry and two header records for the same filename).
