[svn-r8590] Purpose:

    Code optimization & bug fix

Description:
    When dimension information is being stored in the storage layout message
on disk, it is stored as 32-bit quantities, possibly truncating the dimension
information, if a dimension is greater than 32-bits in size.

Solution:
    Fix the storage layout message problem by revising file format to not store
dimension information, since it is already available in the dataspace.

    Also revise the storage layout data structures to be more compartmentalized
for the information for contiguous, chunked and compact storage.

Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
    Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
