Changes from h5 to hdf5r

Change subset operator to [[
- Q: Why [[ instead of [?
- Q: Implement [ to support multiple arguments?
No Support for on-the-fly group creation / Recursive group creation ? e.g. file[["testgroup/testset"]] <- 1:10 without existing testgroup
full.names in list.xxx does not return global path name, changed parameters

list.attributes (e.g. through H5Aiterate2)
Adjust $print() for all HDF5 objects
Create dataset without chunking?
- This should work without setting chunk size: dset1 <- createDataSet(file, "testmat_1", testmat_n, space = dspace)
Get Chunk size from dataset
Implement follow.link
How to set up dataset with specified maximum dimensions, only using set_extent?
General: Improve error messages

H5S$new(maxdims = "test") should immediately throw error
Check why H5T_STD_I64LE is not mapped to 64bit integer?
Check why enum test case ist not working (test-zzz.enum.R)
Does array retrieval work?
Subsetting allows zero and negative values
insert check before expand f <- function() dset2[10:11, 9] <- matrix(rep(0, 2*9), nrow = 2)
Reading entire dataset using [] (instead of [,]) for 2-dimensional objects should also work, like in matrix(1:9, nrow = 3)[]
Move package startup message to README / doc
Check datatype before dataset is extended
Fix Issues for HDF5 1.8.12
NA handling for strings does not work properly
Fix Issues for HDF5 1.8.14
Implement test cases DataSet-Select-Elem/DataSet-Select-Hyperslab needs refactoring of H5D$read functions (separate dataspace from read).
- ~~Should all elements be returned if index is zero for element-wise selection?~~
- ~~Subscribt out of bounds not thrown for element-wise selection. Instead, indexing starts at 1.~~

Adjust $print() for all HDF5 objects
- list.attributes (e.g. through H5Aiterate2)
Subsetting allows zero and negative values
insert check before expand f <- function() dset2[10:11, 9] <- matrix(rep(0, 2*9), nrow = 2)

mannau: Set h5 as deprecated, link to hdf5r
all: Specify release date (e.g May 1st)
mannau: Inform HDF5 Group about new CRAN release (make hdf5r standard HDF5 package)
