clawhdf5: FileEditor reports filters it cannot run as Error::Unsupported

A dataset whose filter this build cannot encode (scale-offset, N-Bit, SZIP;
a plugin filter the build lacks) failed with Error::Format("unsupported
filter: 6"), although the editor documents every refused edit as
Error::Unsupported, and the Python bindings raised ValueError rather than
NotImplementedError. Every edit now maps FormatError::UnsupportedFilter to
Error::Unsupported; the file is left untouched as before.

Test: edit_interop unencodable_filters_are_unsupported — h5py scale-offset
datasets (integer with chunks, integer never written, float D-scale):
Error::Unsupported naming the filter, and the file byte for byte unchanged.
Fails on the previous editor (Format(UnsupportedFilter(6))).
