178989 - sometimes records are not added to Palm

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Rajiv Dayal]

Sometimes records from Mozilla AB are not added into Palm. This is seen during
external Mozilla testing as reported in bug #155417.

This could be reproduced using a earlier Palm version like 3.0 or earlier. This
is happening because one of the SyncWriteResourceRec returns operation not
supported. 

Basically, the Address Book database is a record database and not a resource
database and thus for Address Book sync the m_bRecordDB should be set as TRUE.
This will make sure to call the SyncWriteRec and thus addition would always work.
