A dataset with more than one unlimited dimension got an Extensible Array
index, which libhdf5 refuses ("already found unlimited dimension"), so
the whole file failed to open in h5py and h5dump. The previous commit
turned that into a write error; this one writes what the library itself
uses there: a version-2 B-tree chunk index (record type 10/11), as a
single leaf of the library's 2048-byte node size, or a larger leaf when
the records do not fit. The root's record count is 16-bit, so more than
65535 chunks is still refused rather than written wrong.

Usage
use clawhdf5_format::Superblock;
let data = std::fs::read("data.h5").unwrap();
let sb = Superblock::from_bytes(&data).unwrap();
println!("HDF5 version {}.{}", sb.version_major(), sb.version_minor());
