[svn-r18396] Purpose: Fix links.c failure
Description: The core file driver previously matched files only based on the name used to open them, even when a backing store is used. This caused problems in the failing test when it traversed an external link to itself, and did not recognize that it was the same file. Similar tests in links.c were skipped when the core file driver was used. The failure was previously masked by inappropriate file flushes caused by external link traversal. Added code to the core file driver to keep track of low level file information of the backings store to allow for accurate recognition of duplicate files. Also re-enabled all links.c tests for the core file driver. Tested: Fedora (core and sec2 drivers; no time for full commit test, will monitor daily tests)

-------
+ - Files can now be concurrently opened more than once using the core file
+ driver, as long as the backing store is used. (NAF - 2010/03/09)
- Added support for H5O_COPY_EXPAND_EXT_LINK_FLAG to H5Ocopy. External
links will now be expanded if this flag is set.
