Corrected version of 4b5e05c084f93c35dae946c2c9e814d565a613b0:

    Fix some more signed -> unsigned value issues with cache data structures,
    also misc. style cleanups.  All to align w/incoming page_buffering changes.

- * Changes:     Ported code to detect next entry status changes as the 
- *              the result of a flush from the serial code in the scan of 
- *              the LRU.  Also added code to detect and adapt to the 
- *              removal from the cache of the next entry in the scan of 
- *		the LRU.
- *
- *		Note that at present, all of these changes should not 
- *		be required as the operations on entries as they are 
- *		flushed that can cause these condiditions are not premitted
- *		in the parallel case.  However, Quincey indicates that 
- *		this may change, and thus has requested the modification.
- *
- *		Note the assert(FALSE) in the if statement whose body 
- *		restarts the scan of the LRU.  As the body of the if 
- *		statement should be unreachable, it should never be 
- *		triggered until the constraints on the parallel case 
- *		are relaxed.  Please remove the assertion at that time.
- *
- *		Also added warning on the Pinned Entry List scan, as it
- *		is potentially subject to the same issue.  As there is 
- *		no cognate of this scan in the serial code, I don't have
- *		a fix to port to it.

- *
- *		Note that unlike H5C_apply_candidate_list(), 
- *		H5C_mark_entries_as_clean() makes all its calls to 
- *		H5C__flush_single_entry() with the 
- *		H5C__FLUSH_CLEAR_ONLY_FLAG set.  As a result, 
- *		the pre_serialize() and serialize calls are not made.
- *
- *		This then implies that (assuming such actions were 
- *		permitted in the parallel case) no loads, dirties, 
- *		resizes, or removals of other entries can occur as 
- *		a side effect of the flush.  Hence, there is no need
- *		for the checks for entry removal / status change 
- *		that I ported to H5C_apply_candidate_list().
- *
- *		However, if (in addition to allowing such operations
- *		in the parallel case), we allow such operations outside
