Omar SobhandClaude Sonnet 5 88195d1c33 docs: fix untraceable benchmark claims, add dual-audience framing, validate on second machine
- README's "HDF5 Core I/O" table claimed 19ns/2,080µs labeled 308× (real ratio
  ~109,000×) and a 313ns zero-copy mmap figure — neither traced to any dated
  benchmark in BENCHMARKS.md. Replaced the table wholesale with the existing
  "vs libhdf5 Summary" figures, relabeled from "h5py/C HDF5" to "libhdf5"
  (BENCHMARKS.md never benchmarks against h5py, only libhdf5 directly).
- Added two new Criterion benchmarks to close the coverage gaps that produced
  the untraceable numbers: metadata_open_from_disk (I/O-inclusive, fair
  clawhdf5-vs-libhdf5 file-open comparison) and metadata_parse_in_memory
  (clawhdf5-only, explicitly labeled as excluding I/O) in h5bench_meta.rs;
  read_zerocopy_mmap in h5bench_read.rs (forces real page-ins by summing
  elements rather than just returning a slice length — the mmap path turns
  out to be slower than a plain copy at these sizes, an honest, unflattering
  but real result now documented instead of a fabricated 313ns).
- Re-ran the full existing benchmark suite plus the two new ones on a second,
  independently administered machine (tank: Ryzen 7 7800X3D) to validate the
  numbers before publishing them. 5 of 6 rows landed within ~15% of the
  original i7-12650H figures; recorded both in BENCHMARKS.md's new
  "Independent Validation" section. README now cites the tank numbers.
- Added a short top-of-file README callout naming both halves of the project
  (general-purpose HDF5 library vs. agent memory layer) with links to
  BENCHMARKS.md and the Crate Map, so a data-infra reader isn't 60% through
  a memory-store pitch before finding the part relevant to them.
- Added one factual, no-names line noting benchmark numbers are being
  validated in collaboration with HDF5 Group engineers.
- Fixed the same untraceable "2-300x faster than h5py/C HDF5" / "313 ns"
  claims in docs/QUICKSTART.md, one click from the README's own "New here?"
  link.
