For each slave, record a value of -autoPath instead of discarding it and relying on the value of ::auto_path in the slave. Clarify the distinction between the two, both in library/safe.tcl and in doc/safe.n. Amend four tests to expect the correct value. Add code to tests to examine both values where appropriate. Add three more tests for cases in which the distinction is important. Renumber and re-title tests in safe-stock86.test to correspond to those in safe.test, and add code to safe-stock86.test to set the Sync Mode.
