Fix H5T_vlen_reclaim() and H5T_reclaim() to use private callback

Add H5T_ref_reclaim()

Move previous H5R APIs to H5Rdeprec.c

Clean up H5Ocopy

Separate H5O_copy_expand_ref() to H5Ocopy_ref()

Add support for copying new reference types

Clean up deprecated routines to go through VOL and same code path

Fix return codes in existing trefer.c test

Rename trefer.c to trefer_deprec.c
