Dennis Heimbigner f3e711e2b8 Add support for setting HDF5 alignment property when creating a file
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2177
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2178

Provide get/set functions to store global data alignment
information and apply it when a file is created.

The api is as follows:
````
int nc_set_alignment(int threshold, int alignment);
int nc_get_alignment(int* thresholdp, int* alignmentp);
````

If defined, then for every file created opened after the call to
nc_set_alignment, for every new variable added to the file, the
most recently set threshold and alignment values will be applied
to that variable.

The nc_get_alignment function return the last values set by
nc_set_alignment.  If nc_set_alignment has not been called, then
it returns the value 0 for both threshold and alignment.

The alignment parameters are stored in the NCglobalstate object
(see below) for use as needed. Repeated calls to nc_set_alignment
will overwrite any existing values in NCglobalstate.

The alignment parameters are applied in libhdf5/hdf5create.c
and libhdf5/hdf5open.c

The set/get alignment functions are defined in libsrc4/nc4internal.c.

A test program was added as nc_test4/tst_alignment.c.

## Misc. Changes Unrelated to Alignment

* The NCRCglobalstate type was renamed to NCglobalstate to
  indicate that it represented more general global state than
  just .rc data.  It was also moved to nc4internal.h.  This led
  to a large number of small changes: mostly renaming. The
  global state management functions were moved to nc4internal.c.

* The global chunk cache variables have been moved into
  NCglobalstate.  As warranted, other global state will be moved
  as well.

* Some misc. problems with the nczarr performance tests were corrected.
