feat(wasm): clawhdf5-wasm, the reader for JavaScript via wasm-bindgen

open(bytes) -> H5File with kind/list/info/attrs/attrErrors/read/
readHyperslab. Numeric data comes back in the typed array of the
stored width (Int16Array for i16, BigInt64Array for i64, Float32Array
for f32/f16, ...), strings and enum names as string arrays, array
datatypes flattened with their dims appended to the shape. Compound,
reference, opaque and VL-sequence datasets are refused with an error
naming the type; nothing is returned as reinterpreted bytes.

The logic is in a plain-Rust core module, tested natively: unit tests,
and h5py_interop, which compares every dataset, hyperslab, listing and
attribute of an h5py- and a netCDF4-written file with what libhdf5
reads back (generator shared with the Node test of the built package).

No mmap, no threads; lz4 is on, zstd/szip (C) are not. A
wasm-release profile (opt-level s, LTO) serves the browser build.
ci-test.sh lints the crate for wasm32 and checks it builds no C.

//! clawhdf5's HDF5 reader for JavaScript, via `wasm-bindgen`.
//!
//! ```js
//! import init, { open } from "./pkg/clawhdf5_wasm.js";
//! await init();
//! const file = open(new Uint8Array(await blob.arrayBuffer()));
//! file.list("/"); // [{ name, kind: "group" | "dataset" }]
//! file.info("/x"); // { shape, maxshape, dtype, elementShape }
//! file.attrs("/x"); // [{ name, value, dtype }]
//! file.read("/x"); // { shape, dtype, data: Float64Array | ... | string[] }
//! file.readHyperslab("/x", [0, 0], [10, 10]); // stride, block optional
//! file.free();
//! ```
//!
//! Numeric data comes back in the typed array of the stored width
//! (`Int16Array` for `i16`, `BigInt64Array` for `i64`, `Float32Array` for
//! `f32` and `f16`, ...); strings and enumeration names as arrays of strings.
//! Anything else is a thrown `Error` naming the datatype. Only the reader is
//! exposed: nothing here writes files.
//!
//! The logic lives in [`core`], which is plain Rust and tested natively.
