OTOH, HDF5 upstream distributes a CMake package configuration
file allowing one to set HDF5_DIR.  In this case find_package(HDF5)
will provide HDF5_VERSION, so we should be consistent with that.

I did have to update our topic for this after nightly testing
because Fedora packages H5pubconf.h under a different name.
I added a commit to check for a few name variants and then
rebased the version patch on that:

 FindHDF5: Add version support
