Starting with HDF5 version 1.10.x, the plugin code MUST be
careful when using the standard *malloc()*, *realloc()*, and
*free()* function.
In the event that the code is allocating, reallocating, or
free'ing memory that either came from -- or will be exported to --
the calling HDF5 library, then one MUST use the corresponding
HDF5 functions *H5allocate_memory()*, *H5resize_memory()*,
*H5free_memory()* [5] to avoid memory failures.
Additionally, if your filter code leaks memory, then the HDF5 library
generates a failure something like this.
````
H5MM.c:232: H5MM_final_sanity_check: Assertion `0 == H5MM_curr_alloc_bytes_s' failed.
````
This PR modifies the code in the plugins directory to
conform to these new requirements.
This raises a question about the libhdf5 code where this
same problem may occur. We need to scan especially nc4hdf.c
to look for this problem.

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
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/972
The current szip plugin code in the HDF5 library has some
unexpected behaviors that require some changes to how
nc_inq_var_szip is implemented and to the corresponding tests:
nc_test4/{test_szip,tst_vars3}.
Specifically, the following can happen:
1. The number of parameters provided by the user will be two,
but the number of parameters returned by nc_inq_var_filter
will be four because the HDF5 code (H5Zszip) will add two
extra parameters for internal use. It turns out that the two
parameters provided when calling nc_def_var_filter correspond
to the first two parameters of the four parameters returned
by nc_inq_var_filter.
2. The nc_inq_var_szip values corresponding to the ones provided
by the caller may be different than those provided by
nc_def_var_filter. The value of the options_mask argument is
known to add additional flag bits, and the pixels_per_block
parameter may be modified.
