convert to an integer. Including the two constants
`DataSpace::dataspace_{scalar,null}`.

## Deprecation `FileDriver` and `MPIOFileDriver`.
These have been deprecated to stick more closely with familiar HDF5 concepts.
The `FileDriver` is synonymous to `FileAccessProps`; and `MPIOFileDriver` is
the same as:
```
auto fapl = FileAccessProps{};
fapl.add(MPIOFileAccess(mpi_comm, mpi_info));
```

We felt that the savings in typing effort weren't worth introducing the concept
of a "file driver". Removing the concept hopefully makes it easier to add a
better abstraction for the handling of the property lists, when we discover
such an abstraction.
