Does ADCore/iocBoot/hdf5_layout_demo.xml of the HDF5 plugin produce a NeXus compliant file?

[prjemian]

Similar to #28, this file is not compliant with the NeXus standard. In short:

no NXdata group, not NeXus compliant

many of the same comments apply. I will submit a pull request with recommended changes.

Here is the structure of the file produced:

[prjemian]

[1] change NX_entry to NXentry
[2] change NX_detector to NXdata
[3] change NX_instrument to NXinstrument

These changes will make the file compliant with the NeXus standard
