[svn-r8719]
Purpose:
To include new functionality.
Description:
Added twelve new functions:
H5Iregister H5Iclear_type
H5Iregister_type H5Iget_type_ref
H5Idestroy_type H5Iget_file_id
H5Iremove_verify H5Inmembers
H5Iobject_verify H5Idec_type_ref
H5Isearch H5Iinc_type_ref
This is a checkin for technical content;
an editorial checkin will follow, though not immediately.
