fix(format): a v1 group with an empty link name fails its listing

libhdf5 refuses to list a symbol-table group that has an entry with an
empty name (H5G__ent_to_link: "invalid link name"), so h5py cannot list
cve-2021-46244's /BAG_root. We listed it, with an object at "/BAG_root/"
(the empty name, pointing at address 0). resolve_v1_group_entries — the
listing — now fails with the new FormatError::InvalidLinkName; path
lookups still find the group's other names, as libhdf5's by-name lookup
does.
