    smb_removefile(): remove only the file's own index record

    Removing a file dropped every index record whose name matched the file's, ignoring case, not just its own. In a base holding names that differ only
    in case (e.g. a.txt and A.txt), removing either one also dropped the
    other's index record, orphaning its header and data: still active in the
    base, but no longer findable or listed.

    Identify the record by the number in the index record the file was loaded
    from. The header carries the same number, but nothing checks the two agree
    on read, and a header whose number no longer matched would leave the
    file's index record in place, pointing at a header already marked deleted.

    smb_findfile(): prefer an exact-case name match

    A file name lookup returned the first index record matching the name
    while ignoring case. When a base holds names that differ only in case,
    the later of them could never be found by name: FileBase.get(), update(),
    and remove() all reached the earlier file instead, whatever case the
    caller gave.

    Return an exact-case match when there is one, and otherwise the first case-insensitive match as before. A lookup given the stored case still
    stops at the first match; one given a different case now reads the rest
    of the index, as a lookup of a name that isn't there already does.
