[svn-r5427] Purpose:

    New Feature - per library change

Description:
    Added new member function DataSet::fillMemBuf for the new
    C API H5Dfill.  Quincey's description of H5Dfill is as followed:

    Added new H5Dfill() routine to fill the elements in a selection for a
    memory buffer with a fill value.  This is a user API wrapper around some
    internal routines which were needed for the fill-value modifications
    from Raymond as well as Pedro's code for reducing the size of a chunked
    dataset.

Platforms:
    SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
    Linux 6.2 (eirene)
