Make ROPP7.0 indifferent to netCDF-4.

Description
The ROPP6.0 beta reviewer suggested rewriting the ROPP configure scripts so that they can link with a netCDF library built with the full netCDF-4 (HDF5) capability, even though ROPP itself (currently) only uses the classic netCDF-3 option.
We may have to move to netCDF-4 anyway, as a result of EUMETSAT Lev1a data developments, so this action may be overtaken by that work.

As stated, this ticket duplicates #259, so let's subvert it to refer to netCDF-4.2.*, in which the Fortran and C libraries are fully separate. The build system might need reworking to account for this.
At some point we may need to make the strategic decision to insist that users download netCDF4.2*, to minimise the support effort.

Closed with general I/O testing for v6.1 built with netCDF-4/HDF5 for supporting eum2ropp.
The current ROPP 'classic' netCDF code build should be tested against a pre-built 'full-fat' netCDF-4 library asap to confirm the (expected) compatibility.
