Description:
Enhance the auto-numbering system to allow for more complex numbering schemes, including the ability to incorporate prefixes and suffixes while maintaining unique identifiers.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Allow users to define auto-numbering patterns that include prefixes and suffixes.

@realVinayak demonstrated that you can (mis)use the byyear numbering system to have an auto-incrementing system based on a generic prefix:

<format system="false" name="OSU CE Number Regexp" class="edu.ku.brc.specify.datamodel.CollectingEvent" fieldname="stationFieldNumber" default="true">
<autonumber>edu.ku.brc.af.core.db.AutoNumberGeneric</autonumber>
<field type="regex" size="4" value="[-|0-9]{4}" byyear="true"/>
<field type="constant" size="1" value=":"/>
<field type="numeric" size="4" inc="true"/>
</format>

• Ensure that auto-incrementing can be based on the prefix without breaking existing functionality.
• Provide clear documentation on how to set up and use the expanded auto-numbering features.
