Fix RecursionError for duplicate files#133

`associate_files()` is called from `validate`, and for Files sharing a `content_hash` it calls `.save()` on the existing duplicate row. That save re-enters `validate` -> `associate_files`, which saves back into the original file, producing an endless A->B->A loop (maximum recursion depth exceeded). - Guard `associate_files()` in `validate` with a new `associating_files` flag so a save triggered from within association does not re-run association. - Set `existing_file.flags.associating_files = True` before saving the duplicate so the recursion is broken. - Skip appending a `file_association` row that already links the same doctype/name, avoiding duplicate child rows on repeated associations.

@agritheory Thank you for this app! As I'm not a collaborator, I don't think the failing actions have access to the necessary env vars. Let me know how you'd like me to proceed |

Hey @dvdl16 thanks for this fix!
The tests pass locally, but I noticed that this PR doesn't add regression tests for this scenario.
Could you add a couple of tests for this?
Two tests that would help:
- Create two File docs with identical
content_hash(viadb_insert(), bypassing the merge-on-insert), then .save() one of them and assert it completes withoutRecursionError. - Call
associate_files()twice with the same link_doctype/link_name and assert file_association doesn't grow a duplicate row (covers the newalready_linkedguard).
To run the suite locally:
Activate the bench virtualenv: source env/bin/activate
Make sure sites/currentsite.txt contains your site name
Run: pytest --disable-warnings -s from apps/cloud_storage

Fixes #132
associate_files()behind a flag so a save triggered from within association does not re-run association:associate_files():file_associationchild rows - only append the association if the samelink_doctype/link_nameisn't already present:This breaks the recursion while still performing the intended one-pass association, and prevents redundant association rows from accumulating.
