test: let the interop suites find a Python that actually has h5py

Every Python interop suite had stopped running on this machine: the h5py
writer round-trips, the facade suite, netCDF4 and the reference files.
`python3` is 3.14, nothing on the box has h5py, and PEP 668 refuses to
install it into a system interpreter at all — so the availability probes
all returned false and each suite skipped without failing.

A silent skip here is exactly how the v5 compound-datatype bug reached a
release, so the probes now read `CLAWHDF5_PYTHON` and `ci-test.sh` picks
up `.venv/bin/python` on its own. The detection sits at the top of the
script rather than beside the interop step, because the non-ignored
suites run in the earlier `cargo test` step and would otherwise still
miss it. `CLAWHDF5_REQUIRE_INTEROP=1` continues to turn a skip into a
failure.

Verified against a venv with h5py 3.16 / HDF5 2.0.0: 94 interop tests
across the four suites, all passing.

## Unreleased
### Testing
- The Python interop suites honour **`CLAWHDF5_PYTHON`**, and `ci-test.sh`
picks up a `.venv/bin/python` automatically. On a PEP 668 "externally
managed" system h5py cannot be installed into the system interpreter at all,
so every interop suite — the h5py writer round-trips, the facade, netCDF4
and the reference files — was skipping silently. A silent skip here is
exactly how the v5 compound-datatype bug reached a release.
`CLAWHDF5_REQUIRE_INTEROP=1` still turns a skip into a failure.
### Memory
- `clawhdf5-agent`: **`MemoryConfig::quantized_index`** stores the vector
index's own copy of the embeddings as `i8` rather than `f32`, which at 100k
