Fix for HDFFV-10840: Instead of using fill->buf for datatype conversion (#2153)
* Fix for HDFFV-10840: Instead of using fill->buf for datatype conversion if it is large enough, a buffer is allocated regardless so that the element in fill->buf can later be reclaimed. Valgrind is run on test/set_extent.c and there is no memory leak. * Add information of this fix to release notes. Co-authored-by: vchoi <vchoi@jelly.ad.hdfgroup.org>

+ - Memory leak
+
+ A memory leak was observed with variable-length fill value in
+ H5O_fill_convert() function in H5Ofill.c. The leak is
+ manifested by running valgrind on test/set_extent.c.
+
+ Previously, fill->buf is used for datatype conversion
+ if it is large enough and the variable-length information
+ is therefore lost. A buffer is now allocated regardless
+ so that the element in fill->buf can later be reclaimed.
