Multi-block messages from host to node

A multi-block message from host to node consists of entire subdomain virt arrays for all the local blocks on the target node. Therefore, routine issnddhs does nothing more then send all the subdomain virt arrays on the host to the nodes and isrcddnd does nothing more then receive these entire arrays and copy them to the virt arrays on the node. Each sub message has the form:

The informative part consists of integers:
iblock
number of the target block
itrans
type of the transported quantity
ilev
time level at which this transport of information occurs.

The data part consists of the entire virt array for quantity itrans and time level ilev. The last of these sub messages consists of only an informative part with iblock = 0.
