High-Level APIs:
------
- New public functions in the C Packet Table API
---------------
Two accessor functions were added per HDFFV-8623/patch 003.
/* Returns the ID of the dataset associated with the packet table */
hid_t H5PTget_dataset(hid_t table_id);
C Packet Table API
------------------
- Replacement of a public function
/* Returns the ID of the datatype the packet table uses */
hid_t H5PTget_type(hid_t table_id);
The existing function H5PTcreate_fl limits applications to deflate
compression only. The public function H5PTcreate is added to replace
H5PTcreate_fl. H5PTcreate takes a property list ID to provide
flexibility on creation properties.
hid_t H5PTcreate(hid_t loc_id, const char *dset_name,
hid_t dtype_id, hsize_t chunk_size, hid_t plist_id);

- Regarding #ifdef VLPT_REMOVED
The #ifdef VLPT_REMOVED blocks are removed from the PT library source
except the following cases:
+ H5PTis_varlen() is made available again.
+ H5PTfree_vlen_readbuff() now became H5PTfree_vlen_buff()

C++ Packet Table API
--------------------
- New constructor
An overloaded constructor is added to FL_PacketTable and takes a property
list ID to provide flexibility on creation properties.
FL_PacketTable(hid_t fileID, hid_t plist_id, const char* name, hid_t dtypeID, hsize_t chunkSize);
(BMR, 2016/03/08, HDFFV-8623)
- New public functions
Two accessor wrappers to class PacketTable, per HDFFV-8623/patch 004.
/* Returns the ID of the dataset associated with the packet table */
hid_t PacketTable::GetDataset()
/* Returns the ID of the dataset associated with the packet table */
hid_t PacketTable::GetDataset()
/* Returns the ID of the datatype the packet table uses */
hid_t PacketTable::GetDataset()
/* Returns the ID of the datatype the packet table uses */
hid_t PacketTable::GetDataset()

existing version will be deprecated.

- Commented out functions are renewed
- Regarding #ifdef VLPT_REMOVED
The #ifdef VLPT_REMOVED blocks are removed from the PT library source
except the following cases:
+ VL_PacketTable::IsVariableLength() is moved to PacketTable
+ VL_PacketTable::FreeReadBuff() now became PacketTable::FreeBuff()
The old function VL_PacketTable::FreeReadBuff that had been ifdef'ed out
now became PacketTable::FreeBuff()

Internal header file
--------------------
- A new API function H5DOwrite_chunk. It writes a data chunk directly
into a file bypassing hyperslab selection, data conversion, and
filter pipeline. The user must be careful with the function and
