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.

This PR partially fixes memory leaks in the netcdf-c library,
in the ncdump utility, and in some test cases.
The netcdf-c library now runs memory clean with the assumption
that the --disable-utilities option is used. The primary remaining
problem is ncgen. Once that is fixed, I believe the netcdf-c library
will run memory clean with no limitations.
Notes
-----------
1. Memory checking was performed using gcc -fsanitize=address.
Valgrind-based testing has yet to be performed.
2. The pnetcdf, hdf4, and examples code has not been tested.
Misc. Non-leak changes
1. Make tst_diskless2 only run when netcdf4 is enabled (issue 1162)
2. Fix CmakeLists.txt to turn off logging if ENABLE_NETCDF_4 is OFF
3. Isolated all my debug scripts into a single top-level directory
called debug
4. Fix some USE_NETCDF4 dependencies in nc_test and nc_test4 Makefile.am
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
strlcat provides better protection against buffer overflows.
Code is taken from the FreeBSD project source code. Specifically:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/lib/libc/string/strlcat.c
License appears to be acceptable, but needs to be checked by e.g. Debian.
Step 1:
1. Add to netcdf-c/include/ncconfigure.h to use our version
if not already available as determined by HAVE_STRLCAT in config.h.
2. Add the strlcat code to libdispatch/dstring.c
3. Turns out that strlcat was already defined in several places.
So remove it from:
ncgen3/genlib.c
ncdump/dumplib.c
3. Define strlcat extern definition in ncconfigure.h.
4. Modify following directories to use strlcat:
libdap2 libdap4 ncdap_test dap4_test
Will do others in subsequent steps.
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
