Compound datasets written with default libver bounds (datatype message
version 1, i.e. plain h5py.File(path, 'w')) could not be read: the v1 member
layout has 28 bytes of legacy array fields after the byte offset
(dimensionality 1, reserved 3, permutation 4, reserved 4, four sizes 16) and
the parser skipped 24, so every following member was read 4 bytes off. v2 was
also wrong: it keeps the 8-byte name padding and has no array fields.
Found by adding a default-libver axis to the h5py-generated-file tests (HDF5
2.0 raised the default low bound to 1.8, so "default" files are a distinct
format path from libver='latest'). Adds byte-level v1/v2 regression tests, a
truncation test, and fuzz corpus seeds for v1 compound and native complex.
