[svn-r7077]

Purpose:
    Edits based on review feedback.

Description:
    H5Tis_variable_str
    H5Tdetect_class
        -- Added notes regarding applicability of these 2 functions.
    H5Tget_native_type -- Copy edits.
        Added note to close returned identifier with H5Tclose and
        clarification WRT array, compoud, etc datatypes.
    Misc copy edits.

Platforms tested:
    IE 5, Safari
