[svn-r13814] Description:
Change back to clearing memory buffers by default, but give users option to disable this, for performance reasons (--disable-clear-file-buffers). Also, add configure option (--enable-using-memchecker) to conveniently control making the library "play nice" with memory checking tools like valgrind and purify. Tested on: Mac OS X/32 10.4.9 (amazon) FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty) Linux/32 2.6 (kagiso)

- disabling the internal free list code. To take advantage of this,
- define 'H5_USING_PURIFY' in your CFLAGS when building the library.
