fix: leak HDF5 library handle to prevent cleanup issues
Root cause: When the OnceLock<Library> was dropped at process exit, dlclose() was called on the HDF5 library. This triggered HDF5's internal cleanup routines which caused 'infinite loop closing library' and SIGSEGV on Linux, especially during parallel test execution. Solution: Use Box::leak() to intentionally leak the library handle. This prevents dlclose() from being called, keeping the HDF5 library loaded until process termination. This is safe because: 1. We only load the library once per process 2. The OS will reclaim all memory on process exit 3. This is a common pattern for libraries with problematic cleanup Also reverts the CI workaround (--test-threads=1) since the root cause is now fixed.
