[svn-r22836] Purpose: Fix bug HDFFV-533 and add other missing functions
Description: In this bug, H5File doesn't have the ability to create attribute. The following changes will provide that functionality and several others that were also missing: - Added an abstract class H5Location in between IdComponent and H5Object. - New class structure of IdComponent, H5Location, H5Object, H5File IdComponent | H5Location / \ H5Object H5File - Wrappers in H5Object were moved to H5Location because the related C functions take either file, group, dataset, or named datatype ID. - Added wrapper for H5Rget_obj_type2 - Added tests for file attributes and H5Rget_obj_type2 wrapper Platforms tested: Linux/32 2.6 (jam) Linux/64 2.6 (koala) SunOS 5.10 (linew)
