Implemented ragged offsets in the results patching code, and upgraded the identity plugin to use read sieving (like the ADIOS Read BP transport method) for improved read performance.
Renamed a helper function for computing linear offsets within a
multidimensional volume.
Split selection types into classes, requiring patching only occur within
the same class. Also implemented points-to-bounding-box patching
(points-to-points still unimplemented).
Fixed incorrectly reversed isDestPoints flag.
Converted element ragged offset to byte ragged offset in
adios_patchdata.c in patching between points and bounding box.
Added optimized support for point selections to identity using read sieving.
Unlike the Read BP transport method, which performs a seek/read for every
point in a PG, this method retrieves all points intersecting the PG with a
single contiguous read. It remains to be seen whether this is more or less
efficient, but it is simpler to implement at this time, since returning
many small bounding box datablocks would be tricky to bookkeep, and returning
a point selection datablock would require upgrading the patching code again.
