[svn-r7435] Purpose:
Bug Fix and code cleanup Description: Correct error in H5T_detect_class that was causing nested compound datatypes with to not detect the datatype class of fields correctly, which caused errors with fill-values, variable-length datatypes and chunks later on. Return the rank of the array datatype from H5Tget_array_dims(), like H5Sget_dims(). Lots of cleanups to datatype code, to make the handling of arrays, compound types, variable-length strings and sequences and enumerated types more consistent and robust. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest

+ - Return rank of the array datatype on successful call to
+ H5Tget_array_dims(). QAK - 2003/08/30
+ - Corrected bug in H5Tdetect_class which was not correctly detecting
+ datatype classes of fields in nested compound datatypes in some
+ circumstances. QAK - 2003/08/30
- Corrected bug in sieve buffer code which could cause loss of data
when a small dataset was created and deleted in quick succession.
