[svn-r15485] Purpose: Allow library to shut down properly when objects have reference count
> 1. Description: Added a new field 'app_count' to H5I_id_info_t struct, to track the reference count on an id due to the application. the old 'count' field tracks the total. Generally any id visible to the application gets placed in app_count. Added app_ref boolean parameter to H5I_inc_ref, H5I_dec_ref, H5I_register, H5I_clear_type, and a few other functions, to specify whether the operation(s) being performed on the id(s) are due to the application (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Test added for this case. Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew (h5committest)

Library
-------
+ - Fixed improper shutdown when objects have reference count > 1. The
+ library now tracks reference count due to the application separately
+ from that due to internal library routines. (NAF - 2008/08/19)
- Fixed assertion failure caused by incorrect array datatype version.
