Improve performance of multiple calls to H5Sget_select_elem_pointlist (#270) (#276)
* Cache the pointer to the next point to process after the last call to H5S__get_select_elem_pointlist. This allows the normal process of iterating over the points in batches to be much more efficient, as the library does not need to traverse the entirety of the preceding points every time the funciton is re-entered. * Update RELEASE.txt for point selection iteration performance fix.

+
+ Modified library to cache the point after the last block of points
+ retrieved by H5Sget_select_elem_pointlist, so a subsequent call to the
+ same function to retrieve the next block of points from the list can
+ proceed immediately without needing to iterate over the point list.
