[svn-r17543] Bug fix (ID 1656):
Changed H5check_version() to suppress the warning message totally if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is 2 or higher. (Old behavior treated 3 or higher the same as 1, that is to print a warning and allows the program to continue. Tested: h5committested, extra jam serial, --disable-embedded-libinfo.

Library:
--------
+ - The embedded library information is displayed by H5check_version() if a
+ version mismatch is detected. Also changed H5check_version() to
+ suppress the warning message totally if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is 2
+ or higher. (Old behavior treated 3 or higher the same as 1, that is
+ print a warning and allows the program to continue.
+ - Added a new feature that have the library information in the file
+ libhdf5.settings embedded in the hdf5 library and statically linked
+ executables. If a user does not care for the extra library information
+ in the executable, he may turn it off by --disable-embedded-libinfo
+ during configure. (AKC - 2009/9/15)
- Corrected problem where library would re-write the superblock in a file
opened for R/W access, even when no changes were made to the file.
