[svn-r26085] Improved the direct VFD configure checks.

- Results of O_DIRECT and posix_memalign() checks are now
  output so users can more easily diagnose problems.

- Configure now fails if --enable-direct-vfd was requested
  but either O_DIRECT or posix_memalign() are not
  present.

Part of HDFFV-7566

Tested on: jam (configure only)
