[svn-r11304] Purpose:

    Code cleanup (sorta)

Description:
    Adjust H5G_stat_t to prepare for eventual "external link" information.
This also puts the information for regular objects and soft links into more
obviously separate places.

Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
    Linux 2.4
