[svn-r8534] Purpose:

    Add more C++ wrappers and documentation - incrementally check-in

Description:
    Added class ArrayType to provide wrapper for:
        H5Tarray_create
        H5Tget_array_ndims
        H5Tget_array_dims

    Test for the new wrapper will follow in a few weeks.

Platforms:
    SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
    Linux 2.4 (eirene)
    Windows 2000
