Merge pull request #833 in HDFFV/hdf5 from ~BMRIBLER/hdf5_bmr_cpp3:develop to develop

Update for new support website.

* commit '801191b4c374adc462345f2c068f1cfc6f4adf97':
  Upated cpp doc.
  Added C++ wrappers - HDFFV-10149 Description:     Added the following wrappers to class H5::Group:     + H5Lcreate_soft:         // Creates a soft link from link_name to target_name.         void newLink(const char *target_name, const char *link_name,...)         void newLink(const H5std_string& target_name,...)
  Update for new support website Description:     - Replaced external links with text including the C API name     - Removed links of copyright at the bottom of each page     - Removed logo at top     - Removed document name and version number Platforms tested:     Linux/32 2.6 (jam) - only documentation
