[svn-r232] Problem: Parallel H5Fcreate failed if file doesnot exist. When the
file does not exist, the code tried to open the file with EXCL CREATE. ROMIO cannot handle file-open with EXCL Create due to racing problem. The first process creates the file which then fails all other processes. Solution: In the parallel code, turn on TRUNC mode to allow "late" open calls to succeed too. It is safe to force TRUNC mode since the file is known non-existing at that point. The MPIO implementation has to provide the real solution. Platform tested: O2K with ROMIO.
