HDF5: Automatically extract linker flags for extra libraries

So far, HDF5 worked with the flags -lz -ldl -lm for external library dependencies when compiling ALF. But we recently had a case where this is not the case. Therefore we should dynamically extract these linker flags from h5fc.

We will also include a warning in configure.sh if the HDF5 installation does not have zlib compression.
