osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 aef8e766ae fix(format): write and read the registered HDF5 LZ4 filter format
Filter 32004 chunks were framed as a 4-byte little-endian size plus one
LZ4 block. That is not the registered HDF5 LZ4 format (H5Zlz4.c: 8-byte
big-endian total size, 4-byte big-endian block size, then per block a
4-byte big-endian compressed length and the block, stored raw when the
length equals the block size), so libhdf5 + hdf5plugin could not read
our LZ4 datasets and we could not read theirs (h5ex_d_lz4.h5:
"lz4: 0 is not a valid match offset").

Write the registered format (cd_values[0] is honoured as the block size,
default 1 GiB like the plugin) and read it, multi-block and raw blocks
included. Chunks in the old framing stay readable: an HDF5 chunk is under
4 GiB, so a registered chunk always starts with four zero bytes and is at
least 12 bytes long, while an old one starts with four zero bytes only
when empty (5 bytes).

Tests: lz4_reads_registered_hdf5_format (chunk of the HDF Group's
h5ex_d_lz4.h5, block size 3), lz4_writes_registered_hdf5_format,
lz4_reads_legacy_clawhdf5_format, and hdf5plugin_reads_our_lz4 (ignored
interop test; failed before with "filter returned failure during read").
