feat: decode the superblock extension at open; read metadata cache images

libhdf5 decodes the messages of a v2/v3 superblock's extension when it
opens a file (H5F__super_read) and refuses the file when one does not
decode. We never looked at them, so we opened cve-2020-10810 (a File
Space Info message too short for the free-space manager addresses it
announces) and cve-2020-10812 (a metadata cache image past the end of the
file), both of which libhdf5 refuses.

A file written with a metadata cache image keeps its metadata cache
entries in an image block the extension points at; libhdf5 loads them
over the file's own bytes before it reads any metadata
(H5C__load_cache_image, H5C__reconstruct_cache_contents). In
h5clear_mdc_image.h5 the root group's header exists only in the image, so
every reader failed with InvalidObjectHeaderVersion(0).

The new clawhdf5_format::superblock_ext module:
- read_superblock_extension decodes the v1 B-tree K, File Space Info and
  Metadata Cache Image messages with libhdf5's checks (versions, page size
  512 B .. 1 GiB, the addresses a persisting message lists, the image
  inside the file), with the new FormatError::InvalidSuperblockExtension;
- apply_cache_image checks an image block as libhdf5 does (signature,
  version, recorded length, entry types, rings, ages, addresses inside
  the file and not repeated, flush-dependency parents) and returns the
  file's bytes with every entry written at its address
  (FormatError::InvalidCacheImage);
- metadata_view does both.

File, MmapFile and LazyFile (and so h5rs) call metadata_view at open and
read an image file through the patched copy; the conformance probe does
the same. The image's trailing checksum is not verified, as libhdf5 does
not verify it. tests/fixtures/h5clear_mdc_image.h5 is libhdf5's own test
file.

//! The superblock extension of a version 2 or 3 superblock, and the
//! metadata cache image it can point to.
//!
//! libhdf5 reads the extension when it opens a file (`H5F__super_read`) and
//! decodes the messages that configure the file: v1 B-tree "K" values, File
//! Space Info, and the Metadata Cache Image. A message that does not decode
//! makes the file fail to open, so [`read_superblock_extension`] decodes and
//! checks them the way libhdf5 does.
//!
//! A metadata cache image (written with `H5Pset_mdc_image_config`) is a
//! block holding serialized metadata cache entries — object headers, B-tree
//! nodes, heaps — each with its file address. libhdf5 loads it into its
//! cache before it reads any other metadata (`H5C__load_cache_image`,
//! `H5C__reconstruct_cache_contents`), and the entries take the place of
//! the file's bytes at their addresses: the file itself may hold stale or
//! no metadata there (in `h5clear_mdc_image.h5` the root group's header is
//! only in the image). [`apply_cache_image`] does the same with bytes: it
//! returns a copy of the file with every entry written at its address, so
//! every parser reads what libhdf5 reads.
