f376c23329 Make utilities support NC_COMPACT
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1642

Modify ncdump, nccopy, and ncgen to support the NC_COMPACT storage option.
Added test cases and added description to the man pages for the utilities.

1. ncdump: For compact storage variable, print special attribute __Storage_ as
````
    <var>: _Storage = "compact";
````

2. ncgen: parse and implement
````
    <var>: _Storage = "compact";
````
in a .cdl file

3. nccopy: Extend the chunk specification (-c flag) to support
   compact using the forms
````
nccopy ... -c <var>:compact
and
nccopy ... -c <var>:contiguous
````

Misc. other changes
1. cleanup the copy_chunking function in ncdump/nccopy.c

The code for handling character constants
in datalists in ncgen has some problems.
1. It failed on large constants
2. It did not handle e.g. var = 'a', 'b', ...
   in the same way that ncgen3 did.
3. The code for generate.c and genchar.c needed
   some refactoring to make it a little simpler
   (but not simple).
