[svn-r12091] Purpose: Support for VAX floating-point types.

Solution: Support VAX float and double types with new byte order. There're some
details not yet included,
1. the alignment detection for VAX order in H5detect.c.
2. support for special values in library conversion functions.
3. the infinity for VAX in H5T_init_inf.
4. support for VAX types in printing hexadecimal format.


Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
