[svn-r5428]

Purpose:
    New Feature - per library change

Description:
    Added the new member function getMemberIndex to classes EnumType and
    CompType to match the new C API H5Tget_member_index.  Given the name
    of a member of an enumeration or compound datatype, this new function
    queries the index of the member.

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