bench: concurrent-read harness against h5py threads and processes

concurrent_read reads one shared File from 1-16 threads: every dataset
in full (distinct datasets per thread) and random hyperslabs of one
dataset, over a deflate and a contiguous file it generates (or reuses
while manifest.json matches). It reports decoded MB/s and scaling
efficiency, warm or --cold (posix_fadvise) page cache, sizes the decode
pool with --decode-threads, and writes JSON.

scripts/concurrent_read_h5py.py runs the same workload on the same files
with h5py threads or spawned processes (same splitmix64 data and slab
stream, checked at spot elements), and compare_concurrent_read.py prints
one table and refuses runs with different workloads. A smoke test runs
all three end to end on tiny files (h5py half honours CLAWHDF5_PYTHON /
CLAWHDF5_REQUIRE_INTEROP).

BENCHMARKS.md gets a "Concurrent reads" section with the commands, marked
not yet measured.

"""The concurrent_read workload with h5py, on the files concurrent_read wrote.
libhdf5 serialises every API call under one global lock, and h5py holds its
own global lock around every call as well, so h5py *threads* cannot decode in
parallel. h5py users scale with *processes* instead; ``--executor processes``
measures that (each worker opens the file itself).
The workload mirrors ``crates/clawhdf5-bench/src/bin/concurrent_read.rs``:
* ``distinct``: every dataset read in full once per repetition; worker ``t``
of ``T`` reads datasets ``t, t + T, ...``.
* ``same``: ``--slabs`` random ``--slab`` x ``--slab`` hyperslabs of ``d00``
(slab ``j`` to worker ``j % T``), offsets from the same splitmix64 stream.
Each worker times itself from a start barrier; a repetition spans the earliest
start to the latest finish (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, comparable across processes).
Threads share one ``h5py.File`` per repetition; process workers open the file
inside the timed region (a few ms against reads of many MiB).
Generate the files first with the Rust harness (it writes ``manifest.json``),
then, for example::
python concurrent_read_h5py.py --dir DIR --executor threads --json h5py-threads.json
python concurrent_read_h5py.py --dir DIR --executor processes --json h5py-procs.json

//! Concurrent-read harness: how does decoded read throughput scale with the
//! number of threads reading one open file?
//!
//! libhdf5 (threadsafe build) serialises every API call under one global
//! mutex, and h5py holds it too, so threads cannot decode in parallel there.
//! A clawhdf5 [`File`] is `Send + Sync`; this harness measures what that buys.
//! `crates/clawhdf5-bench/scripts/concurrent_read_h5py.py` runs the same
//! workload on the same files with h5py (threads, and processes), and
//! `compare_concurrent_read.py` tabulates the JSON both write.
//!
//! Files (generated on first use, reused while `manifest.json` matches):
//!
//! * `<dir>/deflate.h5`: `--datasets` datasets `d00`, `d01`, ... of `f32`,
//! `--mib` MiB decoded each, shape `[mib * 256, 1024]`, chunks `256 x 256`,
//! deflate level 4.
//! * `<dir>/contiguous.h5`: the same datasets, contiguous.
//!
//! Modes, for each layout and each thread count `T` (strong scaling: the total
//! work per repetition is fixed, split among the threads):
//!
//! * `distinct`: every dataset is read in full once; thread `t` reads datasets
//! `t, t + T, t + 2T, ...`.
//! * `same`: all threads read `d00`, `--slabs` random `--slab` x `--slab`
//! hyperslabs in total (slab `j` goes to thread `j % T`). The offsets come
//! from a splitmix64 stream seeded with `--seed`, identical in the h5py
//! script.
//!
//! One `File` per layout per repetition is shared by all threads (opened
//! fresh each repetition, so no chunk cache carries over). Page cache:
//! `warm` (default) reads every file once before timing; `--cold` evicts the
//! files from the page cache with `posix_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED)` before
//! every repetition (no root needed; it only evicts clean, unmapped pages, so
//! it is best effort — the JSON says which was used).
//!
//! Decode inside one read is itself parallel when clawhdf5-format's `parallel`
//! feature is on (it is in this binary, via clawhdf5-agent). `--decode-threads
//! N` sizes that rayon pool; `--decode-threads 1` measures the API's own
//! thread scaling, comparable with h5py where each call decodes on the
//! calling thread.
