Problem: When authority records are import ("Stage MARC records for import"),
each authority record is assigned a new record number instead of retaining its
original record number as recorded in 001 $a.

This links bibliographic records to the wrong authority records, and the only
way to restore the original linkage is to manual change biblographic $9 with
the new authority record 100 $a; or vice versa. So, for example,

Clements, Samuel Langhorne
old authority (before migration) #9742
new authority (after migration)  #8665

100 1  $a Clements, Samuel Langhorne $e [author] $9 9742
245 10 $a Huckleberry Finn / $cMark Twain.
...

The bib. record 100 $9 remains 9742 even though that authority record is now
assigned to Shakespeare, William. When clicking on the link in the Huck Finn
book, the link finds works by William Shakespeare instead.

Enhancement request: Authority records 001 $a retain assigned 001 $a instead of
being assigned a new authority record number.

I have had limited success with building an authority record's 942 $c from the
100 $a, but a more comprehensive solution is in order.
