Fixes #1285.
Root cause
RecordsAffected was taken from the statement type. Firebird classifies INSERT ... RETURNING and DML inside an execute block as stored procedure execution, so the new switch returned -1 for them, although the server reports the correct count. This was a regression for the reader: before this PR it reported the insert count.
Change
RecordsAffected starts at -1 and is set in the FbDataReader constructor (review feedback).
INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE report the server count. Stored procedure execution reports the server count only when it is positive, so a procedure that changes no rows keeps -1.
UPDATE ... RETURNING and DELETE ... RETURNING are classified as SELECT by Firebird, so they keep -1, as before this PR. This is unchanged and outside this PR.
Measured server counts (Firebird 5.0.2)
insert ... returning: 1
insert without returning: 1
update with no matches: 0
execute block with one insert: 1; with two inserts: 2; empty block: 0
update ... returning and delete ... returning: -1 (SELECT classification)
Tests
RecordsAffectedForInsertReturningTest (reader) and ExecuteNonQueryForInsertReturningTest: fail without the fix (Expected: 1, But was: -1).
ExecuteNonQueryForStatementWithoutRowChangesIsMinusOneTest: pins the -1 for a procedure that changes no rows.
RecordsAffectedIsMinusOneForSelectTest: existing SELECT coverage.
- Run locally against Firebird 5.0.2: 192 passed across the command, batch, stored-procedure and reader suites. The failures were all environment errors (embedded client missing, or wire-encryption mismatch with the container config).
Verification gaps
- Firebird 3.0 and 4.0 not run locally.
- Embedded and CryptRequired variants not run locally.

I think this is not entirely correct. The INSERT ... RETURNING in Firebird is reported as StoredProcedure IIRC and hence now it would become -1.

Firebird classifies INSERT ... RETURNING and DML inside an execute
block as stored procedure execution, so the statement-type switch
reported -1 for them and the reader stopped reporting the insert count
it used to report. Count stored procedure execution only when the
server reports a positive count, so procedures that change no rows
keep -1.
Also set RecordsAffected to -1 in the FbDataReader constructor instead
of the field initializer, as requested in review.

@cincuranet Both points from your November 4 review have been addressed:
_recordsAffected is initialized in the FbDataReader constructor.
StatementRecordsAffected correctly handles Firebird's StoredProcedure classification for INSERT ... RETURNING.
- Added regression tests for reader and
ExecuteNonQuery behavior, including INSERT ... RETURNING, statements without row changes, and SELECT.
The full CI matrix passes (24/24), and the PR is mergeable.
The current implementation addresses your review comments. Could you take another look when convenient?
