[svn-r20517] Description:
Bring r20513 from trunk to 1.8 branch: Correct several problems with compound datatypes that don't have any fields added: - Change assertion to error report when a file is encountered which has this situation. - Added check to attribute creation to avoid creating attributes with a datatype like this (datasets and named datatypes already have the check) Tested on: FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) in debug mode FreeBSD/64 6.3 (liberty) w/C++ & FORTRAN, in debug mode Linux/32 2.6 (jam) w/PGI compilers, w/default API=1.8.x, w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/threadsafe, in debug mode Linux/64-amd64 2.6 (amani) w/Intel compilers, w/default API=1.6.x, w/C++ & FORTRAN, in production mode Solaris/32 2.10 (linew) w/deprecated symbols disabled, w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/szip filter, w/threadsafe, in production mode Linux/PPC 2.6 (heiwa) w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/threadsafe, in debug mode

-------
+ - Changed assertion failure when decoding a compound datatype with no
+ fields into a normal error failure. Also prohibit using this sort
+ of datatype for creating an attribute (as is already the case for
+ datasets and named datatypes). (QAK - 2011/04/15, Jira issue #HDFFV-2766)
- Tell the VFL flush call that the file will be closing, allowing
the VFDs to avoid sync'ing the file (particularly valuable in parallel).
