    Determine the size of a datatype

 RETURNS
    The size of the datatype on success or UFAIL on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
        This function returns the size of the datatype in bytes as it is stored
    on disk or in memory, depending on the mem_flag.  Setting the mem_flag to
    BTRUE returns the size in memory, BFALSE returns the size on disk.
 NOTE:
        This function does not compute the number of bytes for a predefined
    library type (ie. H5T_CHAR, H5T_INT) which has not been "named" by the
    user as field or new type.
