65414eeaa4 Fix some protocol differences between netcdf-c and the Hyrax server.
re: Partly addresses issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1712.

1. Turn on Hyrax Hack to accept Hyrax style attribute containers.
2. Support Url type as alias for String.
3. Accept the special attribute, "__DAP4_Checksum_CRC32",
   to control per-variable checksums.
4. Make _DAP4_xxx attributes be reserved and only accessible
   by name (ala _SuperBlock attribute).
5. Fix handling of checksums. There is a hack in the code
   that uses an extra flag in the chunk header to indicate
   that all variables have checksums. This violates the spec
   and will be removed once it is possible to regenerate the
   test cases.

Note that checksumming with the Hyrax test server has not
been tested. This, along with some other probable inconsistencies,
needs fixing when OPeNDAP and Unidata can agree on the proper
specification. Testing will be included.

8072d1f6bb Modify DAP2 and DAP4 to optionally allow Fillvalue/Variable mismatch
re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1151

Modify DAP2 and DAP4 code to handle case when _FillValue type is not
same as the parent variable type.

Specifically:
1. Define a parameter [fillmismatch] to allow this mismatch;
   default is to disallow.
2. If allowed, forcibly change the type of the _FillValue to match
   the parent variable.
3. If allowed Convert the values to match new type
4. Generate a log message
5. if not allowed, then fail

Implementing this required some changes to ncdap_test/dapcvt.c
Also added test cases.

Minor Unrelated Changes:
1. There were a number of warnings about e.g.
   assigning a const char* to a char*. Fix these
2. In nccopy.1, replace .NP with .IP "n"
   (re PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1144)
3. fix minor error in ncdump/ocprint
