           distinquish this case from the dimscale case where the id might actually
           be defined.
           The original nc4_find_dim searched up the group tree looking for the given
           dimid in one of the dim lists associated with each ancestor group.
           I changed nc4_fnd_dim to use the dimid directly using h5->alldims.
           However, here that is incorrect because it will find the dimid 0 always
           (if any dimensions were defined). Except that when dimscale dimids have
           been defined, one or more of the values in var->dimids will have a
           legitimate value.
           The solution I choose is to modify nc4_var_list_add to initialize dimids to
           illegal values (-1). This is another example of the problems with dimscales.
