Native Arrays of Numbers

This class encapsulates native methods to deal with arrays of numbers, converting from numbers to bytes and bytes to numbers.

These routines are used by class Java Array Conversion to pass data to and from the HDF5 library.

Methods xxxToByte() convert a Java array of primitive numbers (int, short, ...) to a Java array of bytes. Methods byteToXxx() convert from a Java array of bytes into a Java array of primitive numbers (int, short, ...)

Variant interfaces convert a section of an array, and also can convert to sub-classes of Java Number.
