Suspected bug in per-user set_pref()

Expected outcome: altering a per-user pref of one user changes the pref for that user only.
Actual outcome: altering a per-user pref of one user changes the same pref for all users.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create 2 user accounts
2. Log into TXP in two browsers, once with each account
3. Visit the Articles list with both accounts
4. Alter the sort order with one of the accounts
5. Refresh the browser window of the other account: the sort order has changed to that of the other user

Fix: In txplib_misc.php, if the pref does not exist, safe_insert() creates it with a user_name. But if it is subsequently changed, the safe_update() does not take user_name into account and thus changes all such-named prefs.
