Library:
--------
+ - Add an enumerated value to H5F_libver_t for H5Pset_libver_bounds().
+
+ Currently, the library defines two values for H5F_libver_t and supports
+ only two pairs of (low, high) combinations as derived from these values.
+ Thus the bounds setting via H5Pset_libver_bounds() is rather restricted.

+ Add an enumerated value (H5F_LIBVER_V18) to H5F_libver_t and

+ as derived from these values. This addition provides the user more
+ flexibility in setting bounds for object creation.

+ It was discovered that a crashed file's stored EOA in the superblock
