CMake: (feature) libaec (#703)
* CMake: (feature) libaec
Implemented better support for the compression library libaec.
Especially, for the new version 1.0.5:
- The CMake config files of this version 1.0.5 now set certain
SZIP variables which can be used in the existing
CMake structure.
- Both static and shared SZIP compatible libaec library contains
all required objects such it can be easily used when building
HDF5 from scratch.
- Introduced the USE_LIBAEC_STATIC option to make use of the static
version of SZIP compatible libaec library.
* CMake: (fix) libaec
Implemented the fallback option for the case if version 1.0.5
of libaec could not be found.
* Docs: Added description about libaec implementation.
Added short description about the libaec improvement to the Bug Fixes
section in the Configuration sub-section.
