[svn-r16281] Purpose: Add functions to allow more flexible traversal of external links.

Description: Added H5Pset/get_elink_cb to allow the user to specify a callback
function to be called whenever an external link is traversed.  Added
H5Pset/get_elink_acc_flags to allow the user to specify the file access flags
to use to open the target file of an external link.  All these properties are set on a LAPL.

Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
