if there's VL type of data in the dataset, the address of the data is copied
multiple times into the buffer, causing some trouble when the data is released.
Instead, this checkin makes multiple copies of fill value first, then
does conversion on each element so that each of them has a copy of the
VL data. A test is added, too.
Tested it on kagiso, sol, and copper.
Added H5Lexists() API routine, which determines if a link of a particular
name exists in a group.

reference test object reference failed if faked address is 100.
Skipped this test for now.
Also removed the incorrected added COMPAT_1.4 parts.
Tested in kagiso.
Eliminate storing # of links in "link info" message, regenerate it
when the object is opened instead.

Move ref. count of # of links to an object out of the object header's
prefix and make it a header message instead (since it's a "rare" occurence),
eliminating some more space for each object in the file.
Inserting this "ref. count" message exposed a flaw in the library's
mechanism for locating a message to promote to another chunk and replace
with a continuation message, which required some additional work to fix.
It's still not completely robust, but it's working for more cases now and
detects failures robustly.
Reduced the minimum size of an object header chunk to just enough to
contain a header message prefix and continuation message.

Move "creation order tracked" flag from "group info" to "link info"
object header message and make the "max. creation order value" optional in the
"link info", if the creation order for links is not tracked.
Also, get rid of unused "index names" flag - names are always indexed
currently.

Eliminate message count from new version of object header prefix -
it can be computed when the header is loaded and the table of messages is
built.

Move attribute tracking information out of object header prefix and
make it into a message that is inserted only when attributes are present on
the object.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
The main purpose of this checkin was to eliminate the
space used for tracking creation time indices when there is no way they
can be used (i.e. attributes can't be shared in the file and the user hasn't
turned on attribute creation tracking), however there were some other minor
changes which crept in:
- Fix a cache locking deadlock when a shared attribute and one of its
components end up in the same fractal heap direct block.
(This is fixed the "slow" way for right now, until John has time
to add support for readers/writer locking to the cache.
- Optimize attribute copying when a copy will be kept during a v2 B-tree
search.
- When freeing a block on disk, attempt to merge it with the metadata
and "small data" aggregators.

Fix bug in external links when "strong" file close degree is used.
Make external link callbacks use standard error reporting mechanisms.

Add object creation property (H5P[s|g]et_obj_track_times) to disable
storing timestamps on objects, which makes the object's header size smaller.
Also, added object header status flags to H5O_info_t struct (for
H5Oget_info/H5Oget_info_by_idx) and cleaned up other field names in the
struct as well.

Revise latest form of superblock format pretty drastically, to
eliminate unused fields and move rarely used fields into superblock extension.
Finished removing last vestiges of references to (never used) i"shared"
object header message ID.
Added object header messages for non-default v1 B-tree 'K' values
and for driver info.
Updated testfiles to reflect size changes, etc.
Various minor cleanups, etc.

External links test in tsohm.c tries to open a target file the second time.
Therefore it fails for VMS.
Solution:
Commented out this test for VMS system.
Platforms tested:
VMS server and kagiso
Allow "big" attributes to push attribute storage into "dense" form
immediately, to accomodate storing the attribute. (This is only allowed
in the "latest" version of the format).

Description: Multiple copies of Copyright appeared in Makefile.in. This was
due to automake copying the copyright right in the included files such as
config/commence.am.
Solution: Automake treats double hashes as comments and does not copy them
to Makefile.in. Changed all the copyright notices in config/*.am to use
double hashes for the Copyright right notice.
Tested: kagiso via bin/reconfigure.

sol's been having. When Express Testing (level 2 or 3) is enabled, the
test will no longer repeatedly close and re-open a file, which should work
better under AFS.
Tested on kagiso (extremely minor change, no new code introduced).
Add H5Aget_info_by_idx & H5Aget_name_by_idx routines, along with
refactoring underlying indices code to handle those sort of queries.
Simplify the link callback routines a bit.
Minor other cleanups.

Relax restriction on the "location ID" for attribute operations to allow
file IDs to be used as the location ID. If a file ID is used, the attribute
operations will occur on the file's root group.
