Snapshot version 1.9 release 195
Update VMs on other tested
Snapshot version 1.9 release 196
Add 10 sec timeout to VFD - flush2 tests instead of default 20 min.
Windows needs extra slashes
Fixed HDFFV-8670 
*H5DSis_scale and other HL APIs do not null terminate string (and other issues)
Include plugin header change. H5PLextern.h and H5PLprivate.h have two opposing use cases, only the enum is common.

Tested: local linux and windows
Upgrade packaging process with cmake helper functions.

Tested: local linux
Added tests for HDFFV-8879
Fix a bug in multi VFD when the memb_addr in H5Pset_fapl_multi is passed
as NULL. The library is supposed in that case to equally divide the
address space among all members, but there was a bug causing an
overflow in the assignment.

tested with h5commitest
Update from 1.8 docs - docs team changes from last release
Define symbol for other compilers as nothing.
Tested: platypus
Changed the callback function integer type from INTEGER to INTEGER(C_INT) for portability, HDFFV-8909.
Snapshot version 1.9 release 197
Fix for hdffv-8855.
Fix fo HDFFV-8912
Purpose: Fixed HDFFV-8852
Description:
    H5F_ACC_CREAT was included in the C++ API while the C library doesn't
    allow it yet.  Possibly, in the future, but not now.  In addition, the
    two flags H5F_ACC_RDONLY and H5F_ACC_RDWR were missing from the
    documentation, causing confusion that appending is not supported.
Solution:
    - Removed H5F_ACC_CREAT from the function until the C library support it
    - Added H5F_ACC_RDONLY and H5F_ACC_RDWR to the comments to update the
      documentation
Platforms tested:
    Linux/ppc64 (ostrich)
    Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
    SunOS 5.11 (emu)
Purpose: Fixed HDFFV-4259
Description:
    - Used H5I_INVALID_HID instead of 0 to initialized member "id" in classes
      that represent HDF5 objects.  For PropList, H5P_DEFAULT has to be used
      instead of H5I_INVALID_HID.
    - Added try/catch block to some dynamically allocating memory code and
      re-throw the bad_alloc exception with a message informing the location of
      the failure.
Platforms tested:
    Linux/ppc64 (ostrich)
    Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
    SunOS 5.11 (emu)
Purpose: Fixed HDFFV-8928
Description:
    Followed hints on the JIRA issue to remove several potential memory
    leaks.
Platforms tested:
    Linux/ppc64 (ostrich)
    Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
    SunOS 5.11 (emu)
Description:
    Removed the try/block with new/bad_alloc that were unintentionally
    committed previously.
Platforms tested:
