* Fixed the code for handling character constants
in datalists in ncgen. Two of the problems were:
1. It failed on large constants
2. It did not handle e.g. var = 'a', 'b', ...
in the same way that ncgen3 did.
See [NCF-309](https://bugtracking.unidata.ucar.edu/browse/NCF-309).
* Added a new file, `netcdf_meta.h`. This file is generated automatically at configure time and contains information related to the capabilities of the netcdf library. This file may be used by projects dependent upon `netcdf` to make decisions during configuration, based on how the `netcdf` library was built. The macro `NC_HAVE_META_H` is defined in `netcdf.h`. Paired with judicious use of `#ifdef`'s, this macro will indicate to developers whether or not the meta-header file is present.
