97ce621091 Improve operation of the DAP4 code and fix bugs
re: esupport 31942

* Add a new set of remote tests based on using the opendap hyrax server
* Re-enable --enable-dap-remote-tests as default on
* Make it possible to query the DMR separate from the DAP
  so that it is possible to delay reading data until it is actually
  requested. This make things like ncdump -h much more efficient.
* Fix handling of <Map>s in DMRs.
* Fix some memory leaks

6934aa2e8b Thread safety: step 1: cleanup
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1373 (partial)

* Mark some global constants be const to indicate to make them easier to track.
* Hide direct access to the ncrc_globalstate behind a function call.
* Convert dispatch tables to constants (except the user defined ones)
  This has some consequences in terms of function arguments needing to be marked
  as const also.
* Remove some no longer needed global fields
* Aggregate all the globals in nclog.c
* Uniformly replace nc_sizevector{0,1} with NC_coord_{zero,one}
* Uniformly replace nc_ptrdffvector1 with NC_stride_one
* Remove some obsolete code

751300ec59 Fix more memory leaks in netcdf-c library
This is a follow up to PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1173

Sorry that it is so big, but leak suppression can be complex.

This PR fixes all remaining memory leaks -- as determined by
-fsanitize=address, and with the exceptions noted below.

Unfortunately. there remains a significant leak that I cannot
solve. It involves vlens, and it is unclear if the leak is
occurring in the netcdf-c library or the HDF5 library.

I have added a check_PROGRAM to the ncdump directory to show the
problem.  The program is called tst_vlen_demo.c To exercise it,
build the netcdf library with -fsanitize=address enabled. Then
go into ncdump and do a "make clean check".  This should build
tst_vlen_demo without actually executing it.  Then do the
command "./tst_vlen_demo" to see the output of the memory
checker.  Note the the lost malloc is deep in the HDF5 library
(in H5Tvlen.c).

I am temporarily working around this error in the following way.
1. I modified several test scripts to not execute known vlen tests
   that fail as described above.
2. Added an environment variable called NC_VLEN_NOTEST.
   If set, then those specific tests are suppressed.

This should mean that the --disable-utilities option to
./configure should not need to be set to get a memory leak clean
build.  This should allow for detection of any new leaks.

Note: I used an environment variable rather than a ./configure
option to control the vlen tests. This is because it is
temporary (I hope) and because it is a bit tricky for shell
scripts to access ./configure options.

Finally, as before, this only been tested with netcdf-4 and hdf5 support.

3db4f013bf 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
