feat(py): h5py-style reads of only the selected elements, GIL released

ds[key] read the whole dataset and sliced it in numpy, and knew six
dtypes. Keys (ints, positive-step slices, Ellipsis, one increasing index
list, compound field names) now map onto hyperslab selections, and the
facade's read_selection bytes become the numpy buffer without a copy
(PyArray::from_vec viewed as the dtype). dtype mapping follows h5py for
all integer/IEEE float widths and byte orders, bool, enum, complex, fixed
and variable-length strings, vlen sequences, opaque, array types and
(nested, padded) compounds; anything it cannot describe exactly is a
TypeError. Attributes return what h5py returns; groups and files gain
the rest of the h5py mapping interface. Reads run under py.detach.

tests/test_read_vs_h5py.py compares >500 reads with h5py 3.16 on an
h5py-written file, checks errors match, that a damaged chunk outside the
selection is never touched, and 8 threads reading at once.

//! h5py-style indexing (`ds[1, 2:10:3, ...]`) mapped onto hyperslab
//! selections, so only the selected elements are read.
//!
//! The rules and error messages follow h5py's `selections.py`: integers
//! (negative from the end) drop their axis, slices must have a positive
//! step, one `Ellipsis` fills the unmentioned axes, a single increasing list
//! of integers may index one axis, and strings name compound fields.
//! Everything else (`None`/`np.newaxis`, boolean masks, several index lists)
//! is refused with the error h5py gives.
