1) Check in potential fix to unreproduceable bug in t_cache observed on Cobalt 2) Check in code supporting added pinned entry features in the metadata cache. Description: 1) Elena encountered a bug in t_cache when running on Cobalt. On investigation I found a potential race condition in t_cache that could explain her observation. 2) Quincey requested additions to the metadata cache allowing renaming of pinned entryies, and marking of pinned or protected entries as dirty. Solution: 1) Modified t_cache.c to prevent the potential race condition. Elena was unable to reproduce the bug on Cobalt, so we don't know if my fix actually addressed the problem. 2) Added code supporting the requested functions. The changes were relatively trivial, but required substantial new test code. Platforms tested: h5committest, serial test on heping, parallel test on phoenix. Misc. update:
