[svn-r6303] Purpose:

    new functions
Description:
    Added these member functions to class Group per the new C functions
    H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and H5Gget_objtype_by_idx:

        // Returns the number of objects in the group.
        hsize_t getNumObjs() const;

        // Retrieves the name of an object in a given group by giving index
        ssize_t getObjnameByIdx(hsize_t idx, string& name, size_t size) const;

        // Returns the type of an object in a given group by giving index;
        // the overloaded function also provided the object type in text as
        // "group" for H5G_GROUP
        // "dataset" for H5G_DATASET
        // "datatype" for H5G_TYPE
        int getObjTypeByIdx(hsize_t idx) const;
        int getObjTypeByIdx(hsize_t idx, string& type_name) const;
Platforms:
    SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
    Linux 6.2 (eirene)
    IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
