API: Set next value on sequence for AUTO_INCREMENT primary keys

[joselcvarela]

Motivation

Sometimes I have seen the error ID: Value has to be unique while creating new items.
This seems to happen specially after importing items to a collection using the utility tool.

Solution

In order to prevent this, we can just check if the primary field of the collection is AUTO_INCREMENT, then fetch the maximum value on primary key column and increment 1 to that value.

Fixes #6321
Fixes #18662

AUTO_INCREMENT seems to be constant across DB dialects

[licitdev]

Yes, the @directus/schema sets the default value as AUTO_INCREMENT accordingly. 👍
