3c7ffcc6d1 Fix https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/963
Fix https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/962

1. remove the --disable-diskless option since it is no
   longer needed. Similarly for CMakeLists.txt.
2. Fixed nc4files.c where BAIL and return were mixed
   leading to situation where cleanup code was not
   being invoked. This probably occurs elsewhere,
   but I did not find any specifically.

and https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/708

Expand the NC_INMEMORY capabilities to support writing and accessing
the final modified memory.

Three new functions have been added:
nc_open_memio, nc_create_mem, and nc_close_memio.

The following new capabilities were added.
1. nc_open_memio() allows the NC_WRITE mode flag
   so a chunk of memory can be passed in and be modified
2. nc_create_mem() allows the NC_INMEMORY flag to be set
   to cause the created file to be kept in memory.
3. nc_close_mem() allows the final in-memory contents to be
   retrieved at the time the file is closed.
4. A special flag, NC_MEMIO_LOCK, is provided to ensure that
   the provided memory will not be freed or reallocated.

Note the following.
1. If nc_open_memio() is called with NC_WRITE, and NC_MEMIO_LOCK is not set,
   then the netcdf-c library will take control of the incoming memory.
   This means that the original memory block should not be freed
   but the block returned by nc_close_mem() must be freed.
2. If nc_open_memio() is called with NC_WRITE, and NC_MEMIO_LOCK is set,
   then modifications to the original memory may fail if the space available
   is insufficient.

Documentation is provided in the file docs/inmemory.md.
A test case is provided: nc_test/tst_inmemory.c driven by
nc_test/run_inmemory.sh

WARNING: changes were made to the dispatch table for
the close entry. From int (*close)(int) to int (*close)(int,void*).
