Description

In NIFI-9993, we fixed an issue in which the content repo doesn't properly increment the count for the files that are already archived in the file system repo upon startup.

However, it looks like there's an issue still will files that exist in the repo, are not referenced by any FlowFiles, but have not yet been moved to the archive. In this situation we see logs indicating that files are not known to the repository and are being archived. But it doesn't increment the counter. This can lead to the same problems as NIFI-9993.
