* commit '66699f2c7d889e725ced0fba579621ef97726b41': (49 commits)
  Minor fixes/improvements for VDS performance improvement (HDFFV-10693).
  Refactor H5S__hyper_project_intersection to operate directly on span trees, improving performance and removing the conditionn that the extents be equal.
  Refactor H5S__hyper_project_intersection to operate directly on span trees, improving performance and removing the conditionn that the extents be equal.
  Added code that disallows unregistering the native VOL connector.
  Rename H5VL_ID_GET_NAME to H5VL_OBJECT_GET_NAME
  Correct message command syntax
  Assign NULL to func_name/file_name/desc error entry pointers when clearing error stack
  Avoid clearing error stack when calling H5Eget_msg()
  Reorder lines in HDF5config.cmake so that additions to end of $HPC-HDF5options scripts will take precedence.
  updated -E option
  remove -M option
  added -M HPC to ctest command
  fixed missing paralle test
  Adding cross-compilation for theta (ANL) and qsub (COBALT) batch controls.
  Add note about CMake and spaces in paths
  Putting ctest command in variable CMD did not work for skipping failing tests.
  Code improvement Description:     Fixed potential division by zero occurrences and changed an assert to     if statement. Platforms tested:     Linux/64 (jelly)     Linux/64 (platypus)     Darwin (osx1011test)
  Combine "collective group and dataset write" and "independent group and dataset read" tests into one test.  The second test is dependent on the file created by the first test, and will not pass when run by itself.
  Add final list of single testphdf5 tests
  Pull a test from default testphdf5
