Dennis Heimbigner 7c3164577e Finalize the compression support.
This relies on the HDF5 capability to
dynamically load compression filters.
Note that a compression filter is just
a subcase of filters.

The primary user-visible changes are as follows:
1. Add a standard header "netcdf_filter.h" that defines
   the necessary API extensions
2. Modify ncgen to support two new special attributes
   "_Filter_ID" and "_Filter_Parameters" so that compression
   can be turned on when creating a file using ncgen.
4. Add a detailed description of filtering support
   to the user's guide; see the file filters.md
5. Add a test case directory for this: nc_test4/filter_test.
   It is fragile and a ./configure flags (-enable-filter-test)
   is defined (default disabled) to shut this off this test
   to avoid spurious 'make check' failures.

Note that the HDF5 documentation is not up-to-date, so
much of what is encoded here comes from examining the
actual code in the file H5PL.c in the HDF5 source code.
