* Function: H5DSiterate_scales
*
* Purpose: H5DSiterate_scales iterates over the scales attached to dimension DIM
*  of dataset DID. For each scale in the list, the visitor_data and some
*  additional information, specified below, are passed to the visitor function.
*  The iteration begins with the IDX object in the group and the next element
*  to be processed by the operator is returned in IDX. If IDX is NULL, then the
*  iterator starts at zero.
*
* Parameters:
*
*  hid_t DID;               IN: the dataset
*  unsigned int DIM;        IN: the dimension of the dataset
*  int *DS_IDX;             IN/OUT: on input the dimension scale index to start iterating,
*                               on output the next index to visit. If NULL, start at
*                               the first position.
*  H5DS_iterate_t VISITOR;  IN: the visitor function
*  void *VISITOR_DATA;      IN: arbitrary data to pass to the visitor function.
*
*  Iterate over all scales of DIM, calling an application callback
*   with the item, key and any operator data.
*
*   The operator callback receives a pointer to the item ,
*   and the pointer to the operator data passed
*   in to H5SL_iterate ('op_data').  The return values from an operator are:
*       A. Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all
*           nodes of that type have been processed.
*       B. Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
*           value, indicating short-circuit success.
*       C. Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
*           indicating failure.
