[svn-r26395] Merges r26329 from trunk
Removed the configure option that allows selective disabling of individual internal filters (fletcher32, shuffle, etc.). This feature mucked up the code with a lot of #ifdefs, saved very little space and was not scalable to a general scheme for library size reduction. We've decided to remove the feature while we investigate a more general scheme for decreasing the library size. Fixes: HDFFV-9086 Tested on: h5committest

(DER - 2015-03-08, HDFFV-9152)
+ - Removed the --enable-filters option from configure.
+
+ This option allowed the user to disable selected internal filters,
+ presumably to make the library smaller. It has been removed since
+ it saved little space (the internal filters are small with respect
+ to the overall library size) and was not generally extendible to
+ the library at large due to the large number of #ifdefs that would
+ be required.
+
+ Note that this features applied to internal filters such as suffle
+ and n-bit, not external filters like gzip or szip. Those are still
+ enabled or disabled via their own configure options.
