Create a new, more streamlined method of generating I/O sequences when
there is only a single block defined by a hyperslab. This improves the
performance of Ger Van Diepen's (LOFAR team) benchmark by about 20%.

Bring "shape same" changes from LBL branch to trunk. These changes
allow shapes that are the same, but projected into dataspaces with different
ranks to be detected correctly, and also contains code to project a dataspace
into greater/lesser number of dimensions, so the I/O can proceed in a faster
way.
These changes also contain several bug fixes and _lots_ of code
cleanups to the MPI datatype creation code.
Many other misc. code cleanup are included as well...

Platforms tested:

Bug fix/Feature
Description:
Modify the library to use rand_r, when available, instead of srand. If
rand_r is not available, it will try to use srandom/random, and then finally
fall back to srand/rand.
Solution:
A couple places in the library use the srand() function to seed the random
number generator. This can cause problems on certain platforms and could theoretically
cause problems for users who expect a certain sequence of random numbers following their
own call to srand().
Most platforms have an implementation of rand_r, which is identical to rand, except that
it allows for explicit storage of the seed value. The configure script will now check
for the existence of rand_r to facilitate its use in the library.
Two new functions are added, to replace the macros HDsrand/HDrand. These functions are HDrand and
HDsrand. HDrand will call rand_r, if available, or random(), if available, and fall back to rand() if neither
of those is available. HDsrand will store the seed value locally, if rand_r is available. Otherwise, it will call
srandom if available, and fall back to srand otherwise.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir. Really need to test on Red Storm, since that platform motivated this fix, but the machine
is currently not available.

Description:
Check in Kent's fixes to hyperslab rebuilding code that should correctly

Bug fix
Description:
Hyperslab selections that had a selection offset and were applied to a
chunked dataset could get into an infinite loop or core dump if the same
selection was used multiple times, with different selection offsets.
Solution:
"Normalize" the selection with the selection offset, generate the
selections for the chunks overlapped and then "denormalize" the selection.

Bug fix
Description:
Fix problems with hyperslab operations with hyperslabs that have count == 0

trees with zero-sized spans, etc.

Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

New feature/enhancement
Description:
Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving
certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or
chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times.
Solution:
Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much
more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk
in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time.
There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to
create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the
chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c
tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will
allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the
remaining issues.

Bug fix
Description:
I/O on "Regular" hyperslab selections could fail to transfer correctly

Bug Fix
Description:
Selection offsets were not being used correctly when iterating through

Solution:
Use the selection offset appropriately.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
New Feature
Description:
Added new H5Dfill() routine to fill the elements in a selection for a
memory buffer with a fill value. This is a user API wrapper around some
internal routines which were needed for the fill-value modifications
from Raymond as well as Pedro's code for reducing the size of a chunked
dataset.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) [and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) in parallel, in a few
minutes]
Bug Fix & Feature
Description:
The selection offset was being ignored for optimized hyperslab selection
I/O operations.
Additionally, I've found that the restrictions on optimized selection
I/O operations were too strict and found a way to allow more hyperslabs
to use the optimized I/O routines.
Solution:
Incorporate the selection offset into the selection location when performing
optimized I/O operations.
Allow optimized I/O on any single hyperslab selection and also allow
hyperslab operations on chunked datasets.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Bug Fix
Description:
Regression test for following bug:
When reading a contiguous hyperslab that spanned the entire dataset and
was larger that the type conversion buffer, the hyperslab routines need
to fill the type conversion buffer and then return to the I/O routines.
When the I/O routines resume the hyperslab operation, it was possible to
have a combination of coordinates which caused the hyperslab iterator
to incorrectly advance in the file, causing some data to be re-read or
re-written.
