Updates to older special config files in configure.ac:
- solaris2.x renamed to solaris. There are recent changes to this file
but the "2.x" is misleading since the changes are applied to all
versions.
- Removed support for OSF 4.x/5.x (Digital and Tru64 Unix). We no
longer have the config files for these.

gen_* files in test/. These files will remain distributable since
they are needed if a user specifies --enable-build-all.
Fixes HDFFV-8236
Tested on: jam (bin/chkmanifest only)
Align w/vds branch: Whitespace cleanup, move common code for opening a
dataset into a new routine, misc. style cleanups.
Tested on:
MacOSX/64 10.10.5 (amazon) w/serial & parallel
(h5committest upcoming)
The only remaining code consists of a few floating-point tests
that rely on pre-generated and checked-in VMS files. These have
been left alone, even though they will not be possible to
recreate, since testing VMS float behavior is still important.
Tested on: h5committest
Split parallel metadata cache code into separate source code modules.
Tested on:
MacOSX/64 10.10.3 (amazon) w/serial & parallel
(too minor for h5committest)
The tool claimed it could handle 24bit images but there was no code to handle it.
(or might be there were but was removed by previous revisions.)
Also discovered that it does not accept multiple images nor -p for palette
as its user document and online help message indicated.
Solution:
Added code to verify dimension sizes are within 8 bit raster images limit and
added tests to verify the tools correctness.
Need to update user document tool.
Tested: h5committested.
Description: h52gif crashed when it was asked to convert a 24bitimage.
Upon viewing the code, it did not prepare to handle images other than 2 dimensions.
It has no concept of multiple planes images. Further examinations showed past attempts
to fix it ended up removed some abilities (-p or multiple planes, animation, ...) have
been removed but documentation was not updated. Even its online help message still
shows -p is an option.
Solution: added protection code to flag errors if input request is not an
8bit image within size limits. (I don't have enough knowledge of the GIF
format to fix this tool. All I did was plugging known bug from crashing the
program.)
Tested: h5committest.
