Design block-based VFD and draft RFC

[aowen87]

Informed from Silo's blockbased VFD that met with great success on Dawn, develop the equivalent, HDF5built-in VFD for HDF5. Some of the things silo's blockbased VFD does is to get around various bugs in the way upper layers of HDF5 were/are interacting with the VFD layer. The issues encountered there need to be discussed, tests demonstrating the issues on HDF51.8.4 need to be put together to demonstrate the problem(s).
