6b69b9c52c Significantly Improve Amazon S3 Cloud Storage Support
## S3 Related Fixes

* Add comprehensive support for specifying AWS profiles to provide access credentials.
* Parse the files "~/.aws/config" and "~/.aws/credentials to provide credentials for the HDF5 ROS3 driver and to locate default region.
* Add a function to obtain the currently active S3 credentials. The search rules are defined in docs/nczarr.md.
* Provide documentation for the new features.
* Modify the struct NCauth (in include/ncauth.h) to replace specific S3 credentials with a profile name.
* Add a unit test to test the operation of profile and credentials management.
* Add support for URLS of the form "s3://<bucket>/<key>"; this requires obtaining a default region.
* Allows the specification of profile and/or region in a URL of the form "#mode=nczarr,...&aws.region=...&aws.profile=..."

## Misc. Fixes

* Move the ezxml code to libdispatch so that it can be used both by DAP4 and nczarr.
* Modify nclist to provide a deep clone operation.
* Modify ncuri to provide a deep clone operation.
* Modify the .rc file format to allow the specification of a path to be tested when looking for an entry in the .rc file.
* Ensure that the NC_rcload function is called.
* Modify nchttp to support setting request headers.

74b40fd788 Upgrade the nczarr code to match Zarr V2
Re: https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr-python/pull/716

The Zarr version 2 spec has been extended to include the ability
to choose the dimension separator in chunk name keys. The legal
separators has been extended from {'.'} to {'.' '/'}.  So now it
is possible to use a key like "0/1/2/0" for chunk names.

This PR implements this for NCZarr. The V2 spec now says that
this separator can be set on a per-variable basis. For now, I
have chosen to allow this be set only globally by adding a key
named "ZARR.DIMENSION_SEPARATOR=<char>" in the
.daprc/.dodsrc/ncrc file. Currently, the only legal separator
characters are '.' (the default) and '/'. On writing, this key
will only be written if its value is different than the default.
This change caused problems because supporting a separator of '/'
is difficult to parse when keys/paths use '/' as the path separator.
A test case was added for this.

Additionally, make nczarr be enabled default by default. This required
some additional changes so that if zip and/or AWS S3 sdk are unavailable,
then they are disabled for NCZarr.

In addition the following unrelated changes were made.

1. Tested that pure-zarr mode could read an nczarr formatted store.
1. The .rc file handling now merges all known .rc files (.ncrc,.daprc, and .dodsrc) in that order and using those in HOME first, then in current directory. For duplicate entries, the later ones override the earlier ones. This change is to remove some of the conflicts inherent in the current .rc file load process. A set of test cases was also added.
1. Re-order tests in configure.ac and CMakeLists.txt so that if libcurl
   is not found then the other options that depend upon it properly
   are disabled.
1. I decided that xarray support should be enabled by default for pure
   zarr. In order to allow disabling, I added a new mode flag "noxarray".
1. Certain test in nczarr_test depend on use of .dodsrc. In order for these
   to work when testing in parallel, some inter-test dependencies needed to
   be added.
1. Improved authorization testing to use changes in thredds.ucar.edu
