AIP Backup & Restore doesn't restore a Bitstream's "Sequence ID"
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DS-1108
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1108
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DSpace API
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0, 1.7.2, 1.7.1, 1.7.0, 1.8.1
            Reporter: Tim Donohue
            Assignee: Tim Donohue
             Fix For: post-1.8.x


When using the AIP Backup & Restore tool to restore/replace an Item Object, the 
Bitstreams (Files) do not currently retain the same Sequence ID (DB column 
'sequence_id').

The Sequence ID is often used by the UI to help identify a specific 
Bitstream/File for download.  Although this Identifier is not globally unique, 
it is unique within a particular Bundle.  It's not guaranteed to be 
"persistent", but it's as close to an "internal persistent ID" as we currently 
have for a Bitstream/File.

As the Sequence ID is currently stored in an Item AIP, we should make sure to 
restore it as well.  This ensures that previous links/bookmarks to the 
Bitstream (which may include the Sequence ID) should still function properly 
after a restore/replace has taken place.

I'll fix this shortly on Trunk, as it's actually a minor code change.
