Summary:                    HDF5 headers have migrated in linux/debian/sid --
FindHDF5.cmake doesn't detect them
Description: 
I got the following comment from someone who's helping me package my code for
debian:

> 4. The include for HDF5 in CheMPS2/include/chemps2/MyHDF5.h is not

I have currently used a work-around to make debuild work for sid:
https://github.com/SebWouters/CheMPS2/blob/master/CheMPS2/CMakeLists.txt

According to HDF5's specifications, one should include <hdf5.h>, see section 5
on the page
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/unpacked/release_docs/INSTALL

In sid's packaged hdf5 version, this file is installed in
/usr/include/hdf5/serial/:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libhdf5-dev/filelist

Would it be possible to modify the FindHDF5.cmake so that it detects the hdf5
headers on sid and correctly sets the HDF5_INCLUDE_DIRS variable?

Steps to Reproduce: 
Download and install debian/sid
Get cmake, libatlas3-base, libgsl0-dev, and libhdf5-dev with the package manager
Download chemps2 commit 226b04dfc07589804fbf7bf2b78b409b08d937eb, or earlier
Try to build chemps2 with cmake
