[svn-r10545] Purpose:

Activating collective IO supports for irregular selction inside HDF5 dataset.
This support doesn't include to build the final complicated MPI derived datatype support for chunking storage.

Description:
Support collective chunk IO for both contiguous and chunking storage for irregular selection( using H5S_SELECT_OR for multiple hyperslab selection)
Solution:
Using MPI derived datatype to realize this feature.
Problems still need to be investigated:
 Big size irregular hyperslab selection test may cause MPI hang or abnormalexit with MPICH family on various platforms. This is really hard to debug since sometimes it can work and sometimes it cannot work. We will continue investigating those cases. This may not be parallel HDF5 bugs since with the recent version of poe at IBM platforms, all tests passed.


Platforms tested:
1. Linux heping 2.4.21-27.0.1 with mpich
2. AIX 5.1 copper with mpcc_r
3. Altix cobalt SGI linux 2.4.21-sgi304rp05031014_10149 with icc -lmpi
4. Linux Cluster SDSC TG, intel 8-r2 with mpich 1.2.5
5. NCSA Linux Cluster Tungsten, MPICH-TCP-1.2.5.2, Intel 8.0 under lustre
6. NCSA Linux Cluster Tungsten, MPICH-LAM-INTEL711, sometimes not working
7. NCSA Linux CLuster Tungsten, champion-pro-1.2.0-3, not working for other collective IO tests, but work for irregular selection collective IO test.
