[svn-r20266] Purpose:

    Fixed Bug 2216 - GMQS: h5diff - memory leak when compares vlen string in 
    dataset or attributes

Description:
    Test for dataset : valgrind  --leak-check=full  ./h5diff -v h5diff_dset1.h5 h5diff_dset2.h5 /g1/VLstring
    Test for attr : valgrind --leak-check=full ./h5diff h5diff_attr1.h5 h5diff_attr2.h5
    Both test cases are in testing script.

     
Tested:
 jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Cmake - jam
