  yet another test prg bug

into  perch.ndb.mysql.com:/home/jonas/src/51-ndb

  add list of pages being unmaped, so we can wait for it to be empty before dropping extents

  (introduced by only updating extent pages after pageout)

  (in test framework)

    handle partially complete LCP better in SR

    - only update extent pages *after* flush of real page has been done
    - sync both create/drop of table into undolog (for disk tables)

  (problem introduced by stew's timeout handling)

  fix SR1 and SR2
