[svn-r6387] Purpose:

    Bug Fix

Description:
    Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which
    perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache
    can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead
    of collectively from all processes.

Solution:
    Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which
    could possibly trigger metadata I/O.

    Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty
    metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during
    independent I/O.

Platforms tested:
    Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
        modi4 (parallel, fortran)}

    FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel

Misc. update:
    Updated release_docs/RELEASE
