[svn-r15683] Purpose: fix bug 1298
Description: The optimized "subset" compound conversion function would improperly copy the "blank" space at the end of compound types. Modified H5T_conv_struct_init to detect when the subset type has extra space at the end, and calculate the size of the data that should be copied into the conversion buffer for each element. Changes to the functions that implement these conversions. Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
