 * Function: H5DSiterate_scales
 *
 * Purpose: H5DSiterate_scales iterates over the scales attached to dimension DIM
 *  of dataset DID. For each scale in the list, the visitor_data and some
 *  additional information, specified below, are passed to the visitor function.
 *  The iteration begins with the IDX object in the group and the next element
 *  to be processed by the operator is returned in IDX. If IDX is NULL, then the
 *  iterator starts at zero.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *
 *  hid_t DID;               IN: the dataset
 *  unsigned int dim;        IN: the dimension of the dataset
 *  int *idx;                IN/OUT: input the index to start iterating, output the
 *                             next index to visit. If NULL, start at the first position.
 *  H5DS_iterate_t visitor;  IN: the visitor function
 *  void *visitor_data;      IN: arbitrary data to pass to the visitor function.
 *
 *  Iterate over all scales of DIM, calling an application callback
 *   with the item, key and any operator data.
 *
 *   The operator callback receives a pointer to the item ,
 *   and the pointer to the operator data passed
 *   in to H5SL_iterate ('op_data').  The return values from an operator are:
 *       A. Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all
 *           nodes of that type have been processed.
 *       B. Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
 *           value, indicating short-circuit success.
 *       C. Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
 *           indicating failure.
