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 This PR also incorporates significantly changed model inference code (see the superceded PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1259). 1.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.

This PR adds EXPERIMENTAL support for accessing data in the cloud using a variant of the Zarr protocol and storage format. This enhancement is generically referred to as "NCZarr". The data model supported by NCZarr is netcdf-4 minus the user-defined types and the String type. In this sense it is similar to the CDF-5 data model. More detailed information about enabling and using NCZarr is described in the document NUG/nczarr.md and in a [Unidata Developer's blog entry](https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/en/entry/overview-of-zarr-support-in). WARNING: this code has had limited testing, so do use this version for production work. Also, performance improvements are ongoing. Note especially the following platform matrix of successful tests: Platform | Build System | S3 support ------------------------------------ Linux+gcc | Automake | yes Linux+gcc | CMake | yes Visual Studio | CMake | no Additionally, and as a consequence of the addition of NCZarr, major changes have been made to the Filter API. NOTE: NCZarr does not yet support filters, but these changes are enablers for that support in the future. Note that it is possible (probable?) that there will be some accidental reversions if the changes here did not correctly mimic the existing filter testing. In any case, previously filter ids and parameters were of type unsigned int. In order to support the more general zarr filter model, this was all converted to char*. The old HDF5-specific, unsigned int operations are still supported but they are wrappers around the new, char* based nc_filterx_XXX functions. This entailed at least the following changes: 1. Added the files libdispatch/dfilterx.c and include/ncfilter.h 2. Some filterx utilities have been moved to libdispatch/daux.c 3. A new entry, "filter_actions" was added to the NCDispatch table and the version bumped. 4. An overly complex set of structs was created to support funnelling all of the filterx operations thru a single dispatch "filter_actions" entry. 5. Move common code to from libhdf5 to libsrc4 so that it is accessible to nczarr. Changes directly related to Zarr: 1. Modified CMakeList.txt and configure.ac to support both C and C++ -- this is in support of S3 support via the awd-sdk libraries. 2. Define a size64_t type to support nczarr. 3. More reworking of libdispatch/dinfermodel.c to support zarr and to regularize the structure of the fragments section of a URL. Changes not directly related to Zarr: 1. Make client-side filter registration be conditional, with default off. 2. Hack include/nc4internal.h to make some flags added by Ed be unique: e.g. NC_CREAT, NC_INDEF, etc. 3. cleanup include/nchttp.h and libdispatch/dhttp.c. 4. Misc. changes to support compiling under Visual Studio including: * Better testing under windows for dirent.h and opendir and closedir. 5. Misc. changes to the oc2 code to support various libcurl CURLOPT flags and to centralize error reporting. 6. By default, suppress the vlen tests that have unfixed memory leaks; add option to enable them. 7. Make part of the nc_test/test_byterange.sh test be contingent on remotetest.unidata.ucar.edu being accessible. Changes Left TO-DO: 1. fix provenance code, it is too HDF5 specific.
