Provide byte-range reading of remote datasets re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1251 Assume that you have the URL to a remote dataset which is a normal netcdf-3 or netcdf-4 file. This PR allows the netcdf-c to read that dataset's contents as a netcdf file using HTTP byte ranges if the remote server supports byte-range access. Originally, this PR was set up to access Amazon S3 objects, but it can also access other remote datasets such as those provided by a Thredds server via the HTTPServer access protocol. It may also work for other kinds of servers. Note that this is not intended as a true production capability because, as is known, this kind of access to can be quite slow. In addition, the byte-range IO drivers do not currently do any sort of optimization or caching. An additional goal here is to gain some experience with the Amazon S3 REST protocol. This architecture and its use documented in the file docs/byterange.dox. There are currently two test cases: 1. nc_test/tst_s3raw.c - this does a simple open, check format, close cycle for a remote netcdf-3 file and a remote netcdf-4 file. 2. nc_test/test_s3raw.sh - this uses ncdump to investigate some remote datasets. This PR also incorporates significantly changed model inference code (see the superceded PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1259). 1. It centralizes the code that infers the dispatcher. 2. It adds support for byte-range URLs Other changes: 1. NC_HDF5_finalize was not being properly called by nc_finalize(). 2. Fix minor bug in ncgen3.l 3. fix memory leak in nc4info.c 4. add code to walk the .daprc triples and to replace protocol= fragment tag with a more general mode= tag. Final Note: Th inference code is still way too complicated. We need to move to the validfile() model used by netcdf Java, where each dispatcher is asked if it can process the file. This decentralizes the inference code. This will be done after all the major new dispatchers (PIO, Zarr, etc) have been implemented.

Primary change: add dap4 support Specific changes: 1. Add dap4 code: libdap4 and dap4_test. Note that until the d4ts server problem is solved, dap4 is turned off. 2. Modify various files to support dap4 flags: configure.ac, Makefile.am, CMakeLists.txt, etc. 3. Add nc_test/test_common.sh. This centralizes the handling of the locations of various things in the build tree: e.g. where is ncgen.exe located. See nc_test/test_common.sh for details. 4. Modify .sh files to use test_common.sh 5. Obsolete separate oc2 by moving it to be part of netcdf-c. This means replacing code with netcdf-c equivalents. 5. Add --with-testserver to configure.ac to allow override of the servers to be used for --enable-dap-remote-tests. 6. There were multiple versions of nctypealignment code. Try to centralize in libdispatch/doffset.c and include/ncoffsets.h 7. Add a unit test for the ncuri code because of its complexity. 8. Move the findserver code out of libdispatch and into a separate, self contained program in ncdap_test and dap4_test. 9. Move the dispatch header files (nc{3,4}dispatch.h) to .../include because they are now shared by modules. 10. Revamp the handling of TOPSRCDIR and TOPBUILDDIR for shell scripts. 11. Make use of MREMAP if available 12. Misc. minor changes e.g. - #include <config.h> -> #include "config.h" - Add some no-install headers to /include - extern -> EXTERNL and vice versa as needed - misc header cleanup - clean up checking for misc. unix vs microsoft functions 13. Change copyright decls in some files to point to LICENSE file. 14. Add notes to RELEASENOTES.md
