[svn-r971] Changes since 19981214

----------------------

./INSTALL
	Added warning that enabling debugging code can adversely
	affect performance even when the debugging isn't turned on at
	run-time. Performance testing shows that under certain
	circumstances (like data type conversions of compound types)
	the H5_timer functions, although only a few lines each,
	contribute a fairly large percent to the execution time.

./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
	Improved the H5Tunregister() function to make unregistering
	more flexible.  It takes the same arguments as H5Tregister()
	but also accepts wild cards.  All conversion functions that
	match the H5Tunregister() search criteria are removed from the
	global type conversion table.

	The H5Tregister_hard() and H5Tregister_soft() were combined
	into a single function called H5Tregister() which is the
	counterpart to H5Tunregister(). A new `persistence' argument
	was added to differentiate between the two types of conversion
	functions.

	The application is allowed to register a hard conversion
	function for the no-op conversion path although the library
	isn't obligated to call it (it usually does). This is mostly
	for completeness, but the application might use it to help
	determine if the raw data pipeline was able to use the
	optimized path for the case when no type conversion is
	necessary. The library doesn't allow this path to be
	unregistered although the application can redefine it as often
	as it likes.

	Fixed the type conversion tables in preparation for MT-safety
	and to fix previosly-known design bugs wrt. unregistering
	conversion functions or changing the C function associated
	with a conversion path. The MT-safety stuff is documented in a
	separate white paper.

	Increased the conversion function debugging name from 9
	characters to 31 characters so the output can be more
	descriptive.

	Moved conversion path statistics from the H5T_cdata_t member
	into the conversion path itself.  This makes H5T_cdata_t
	contain only application-visible data structures.

./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Ofill.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5T.c
	Improved the way type conversion functions are called so the
	caller doesn't have to check for data type debugging and
	increment type conversion timers and statistics.

	Changed check for no-op conversion since it is now
	application-definable and there may even be more than one
	definition at a time in a multi-threaded application (one
	thread might be using the no-op conversion path when some
	other thread changes its definition -- the first thread still
	sees the original defintion until it's done with the
	operation).

./doc/html/Datatypes.html
	Updated the user guide to reflect the changes to data type
	conversion registration functions.

./bin/trace
./src/H5.c
	Added tracing support for the new H5T_pers_t data type.

./test/dtypes.c
	Added printf to display alignment value if non-aligned data
	types are being tested.

./test/h5test.c
	Modified the H5Tunregister() calls to use the new
	arguments. All 94 of those calls can be replaced by a single
	call to the new H5Tunregister() function.

./src/H5.c
	Added HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY around an auto variable and
	initialized the elapsed time to zero when gettimeofday() is
	not available.

./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5P.c
	Added an H5*_init() functions which do the same thing as
	H5*_init_interface() but can be called from other packages and
	don't do anything if the interface is already initialized.
	This fixes a couple memory leaks in applications that
	repeatedly close and open the library with H5close().

./src/H5Tconv.c
	Optimized some data alignment code in the hardware conversion
	functions.

	Hardware conversions accumulate statistics about source and
	destination data alignment and print that information when the
	conversion function is unregistered (usually when the
	application exits) if data type debugging is compiled into the
	library and enabled at run-time.

	The conversion caching was cleaned up for the compound data
	type conversion function. It now caches conversion paths in a
	manner that will be MT-safe and is much simpler than the old
	method. Also cleaned up some array index maps.

./src/H5detect.c
	Fixd mispelling of alingemnt.

./src/H5private.h
	Changed `TRUE' to `1' in assignment to interface_initialize_g
	in FUNC_ENTER macro definition.

./tools/testh5dump.sh
	Completely rewritten to make it shorter, better documented,
	and conforming to most of the other test outputs.

	The comparison of the actual output with the expected output
	is insensitive to differences in white space.  The test now
	passes for the first time on Linux where the output width
	wasn't as expected but the output was otherwise correct.
