libhdf5 counts a version-2 object header's attributes through its Attribute
Info message (0x15) and reports none when the header has none. set_attr gave
v110/latest groups, the root group and datasets without attributes an
attribute message only, so h5py listed the attribute but len(obj.attrs) and
H5Oget_info's num_attrs said 0, and stayed wrong after h5py r+ added more.
Like H5O__attr_create, the edit now adds the message when a version-2 header
lacks it, in the same planned edit: version 0, the header's creation-order
track/index flags, maximum creation index 0, undefined fractal heap and
B-tree addresses, message flag DONTSHARE — byte for byte what libhdf5
writes. It goes before the attribute (libhdf5's order) when free space
holds both, else after it, so a continuation chunk made for the attribute
also takes it.
Test: edit_interop attribute_count_in_version_2_headers — v110 and latest
files, attributes set on the root group, groups and datasets with and
without existing attributes: h5py's len/num_attrs/list/values, h5dump -A
and our reader agree, also after h5py r+ adds attributes up to and past the
compact limit. Fails on the previous editor (h5py len 0).
