* The filetype-specific DefRecord functions fail by calling Error if a
  record cannot be created.

* cdf_write_var_slice will never return an error code but call
  on internal error handling.

* cdfReadVarSliceDP always returned 0 because the callee terminates
  instead of returning an error code.

* Move functions related to streams to stream.c and
* move functions relating to library as a whole to cdi_int.c.
* Also eliminate STREAM_debug and replace with CDI_Debug.

* This is part of the bits needed to facilitate multiple/incremental
  resource updates on I/O servers.

* Instead the update is tagged to be synchronized later.
* Secondary updates to resources are not yet handled by the PIO code
  it's meant for.

* Also use no-fail [mc]alloc wrappers.

* Also use no-fail allocations.

* The code in question might otherwise access a deleted resource.
