What, How & Why?
Fixes #5283
The result is that a cluster is not updated, but still points to a location in the slab area that has been freed and hence has some parts overwritten. This happens when an already writable cluster array has to expand on width when a property is set to null. This can happen when the file grows towards 2 Gb in size and the table has more than 16 columns, but perhaps also when the file grows towards 32 kb and the table has more than 32 columns, but it has to be investigated further.
Also potentially fixes other corruption bugs.
