py: remote files (clawhdf5.File(url), File.open_url) through File::storage()
The Python bindings could not open a remote file: they parsed through File::as_bytes() in eight places (path lookups, object headers, dataspaces, attributes, group listings, the global heap of variable-length data), which a storage-backed file does not have. - Every object of a File now shares one handle (src/handle.rs) that runs all file access, metadata included, with the GIL released and parses through File::storage() and the clawhdf5_format *_in functions. Local files take the same path (their storage is the mmap). - clawhdf5.File(url) opens any scheme://... through clawhdf5_remote::storage_for_url (read-only; another mode is a ValueError). File.open_url(url, **options) takes the cache and HTTP options (block_size, cache_size, headers, retries, timeout, allow_full_download, max_full_download, require_validator, max_redirects, max_parallel); File.remote_stats gives the block cache's counters. - Default build: plain HTTP only, no C. https (rustls/ring) and s3/gcs/azure (aws-lc-rs) are opt-in features of clawhdf5-py, and ci-test.sh's no-C check now covers the crate. - A failed storage read (network error, file changed on the server) is an OSError, never KeyError/ValueError and never data; `key in group` raises it instead of answering False. Tests: the read-vs-h5py suite runs locally and over HTTP (1 MiB and 1 KiB blocks) against a range-capable http.server in the test process (conftest.RangeServer); test_remote.py covers request counts, cache hits, a server without Range support, a changed file, a server that hangs up, 16 threads, and a spinning thread that keeps running while a read waits on 0.2 s requests.
