branches/5.1: Backport changes from branches/zip r2725

Simplify the autoinc initialization code. This removes the
non-determinism related to reading the table's autoinc value for the first
time. This change has also reduced the sizeof dict_table_t by sizeof(ibool)
bytes because we don't need the dict_table_t::autoinc_inited field anymore.
