Dennis Heimbigner 44d0dcaad2 Add support for multiple filters per variable.
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1584

Support has been added for multiple filters per variable.  This
affects a number of components in netcdf. The new APIs are
documented in NUG/filters.md.

The primary changes are:
* A set of new functions are provided (see __include/netcdf_filter.h__).
    - Obtain a list of the filters associated with a variable
    - Obtain the parameters for a specific filter.
* The existing __nc_inq_var_filter__ function now returns info
  about the first defined filter.
* The utilities (ncgen, ncdump, and nccopy) now support
  an extended format for specifying a sequence of filters.
  The general form is __<filter>|<filter>..._.
* The ncdump **_Filter** attribute now dumps a list of all the
  filters associated with a variable using the above new format.
* Filter specifications can now use a filter name instead of number
  for filters known to the netcdf library, which in turn is taken
  from the HDF5 filter registration page.
* New errors are defined: NC_EFILTER and NC_ENOFILTER. The latter
  is returned if an attempt is made to access an unknown filter.
* Internally, the dispatch table has been extended to add a function
  to handle all of the filter functions.
* New, filter-related, tests were added to nc_test4.
* A new plugin was added to the plugins directory to help with testing.

Notes:
1. The shuffle and fletcher32 filters are not part of the multifilter system.

Misc. changes:
1. A debug module was added to libhdf5 to help catch error locations.
