don't pass in NC_64BIT_OFFSET if you want CDF-5

 When you create a netcdf dataset with parallel-netcdf, add the flag 
-`NC_64BIT_DATA` to the mode passed in to `ncmpi_create()`
+`NC_64BIT_DATA` to the mode passed in to `ncmpi_create()`.   Do not pass in the flag NC_64BIT_OFFSET.  The two are mutually exclusive.

  * A dimension with more than 2^31^ elements will overflow `MPI_Type_create_subarray`.  This is a limitation in MPI. ~~Will have to figure out a workaround~~ This was fixed in r622
  * Serial netcdf libraries and tools will not know how to operate on this file format (yet).  The serial netcdf team knows about our work and will accept patches once we have done the work to teach serial netcdf how to deal with this new file format.
+ * If you specify both NC_64BIT_OFFSET (CDF-2) and NC_64BIT_DATA (CDF-5), only NC_64BIT_OFFSET will be honored.
