[Users] New parallel HDF5 API proposed

[Erik Schnetter]

The HDF5 groups is apparently contemplating adding a new high-level
API for "HPC HDF5", based on parallel HDF5. I find the idea
intriguing, as it would move much code that we have currently written
in Carpet (and that we will have to write to address the "slow
recovery" issue) into HDF5. In particular, recovering would consist
essentially of a single call to H5HPCdataset_read_mult_all(), which
would read multiple datasets from multiple processes.
