Library:

- - Change how the release part of version, in major.minor.release is checked
- for compatibility
-
- The HDF5 library uses a function, H5check_version, to check that
- the version defined in the header files, which is used to compile an
- application is compatible with the version codified in the library, which
- the application loads at runtime. This previously required an exact match
- or the library would print a warning, dump the build settings and then
- abort or continue. An environment variable controlled the logic.
-
- Now the function first checks that the library release version, in
- major.minor.release, is not older than the version in the headers.
- Secondly, if the release version is different, it checks if either
- the library version or the header version is in the exception list, in
- which case the release part of version, in major.minor.release, must
- be exact. An environment variable still controls the logic.

testflushrefresh.sh will fail when run with "make check-passthrough-vol"
on centos7, with 3 Errors/Segmentation faults. These will not occur when
run with "make check". See https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues/673
