[svn-r18262] Purpose: Fix bug in b-tree code
Description: In certain cases, removal of an object in a v1 b-tree would cause the leftmost key in the right neighbor to be overwritten. While this did not pose a problem for group b-trees, with chunked datasets it would overwrite the offset value of the neighbor's leftmost child, causing corruption. Reworked the code to differentiate between b-trees whose children are fundamentally associated with their left key and those who are associated with their right key. Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)

+ - Fixed an intermittent bug in the b-tree code which could be triggered
+ by expanding and shrinking chunked datasets in certain ways.

- H5Tdetect_class said a VL string is a string type. But when it's
in a compound type, it said it's a VL type (Bug #1584). I fixed it
to be consistent. It always return string type. (SLU - 2009/12/10)
