make compatible with hdf5 version 1.12 api

Jolien Creighton requested to merge jolien-creighton/lalsuite:hdf51121 into master

Description

HDF5 version 1.12 API is different from version 1.10 and earlier. This makes LAL's HDF5 interface compatible with version 1.12 and earlier. See: https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/Migrating+from+HDF5+1.10+to+HDF5+1.12 Note: This is a quick version that falls back on now-deprecated functions. A proper solution would be to switch to the new version of the functions. To maintain backward compatibility, this would require determining the version of HDF5 being used and calling the routines with the appropriate interface.
