[svn-r21718] Issue 7618 - the library had seg fault when it tried to shrink the size of compound data type through H5Tset_size immedia

tely after the type was created.  I'm bringing the fix from the trunk that I committed a while ago. My real changes are in test/dtypes.c, src/H5T.c, and release_docs/RELEASE.txt.  All other changes are property changes.

Tested on jam.  But I tested the same fix in the trunk on jam, koala, and linew.
