[svn-r5435] Purpose:
Document Code improvement below:
Description:
Propagated the "fill time" property into the parallel chunk allocation
routine, allowing it to avoid writing fill values to each new chunk
allocated. This improves the performance of chunked datasets in parallel
I/O to be on par with contiguous datasets again (on modi4).
