[svn-r19202] [BZ1953]implementation for the proposed changes suggested by the "h5dump_output_option" RFC. This required that the region reference code be duplicated and reduced to allow the do_bin_output() function to understand region references. The container type-id also needed to be propagated into the do_bin_output() function and functions referenced (render_bin_output*).

Existing tests tested the binary function, so only one test was added to test the region reference generated file.
Tested: local linux
