Add HDF5 to the build

Marcel Loose requested to merge hdf5_build into master

The system-wide libraries on the AG cluster are too old (version 1.10.0-patch1), where 1.10.3 is the bare minimum according to the Software Changes from Release to Release for HDF5-1.10 page. Therefore we need to build them from source ourselves.

The system-wide HDF5 libraries on the Spider cluster are not thread-safe. We need a thread-safe version of these libraries. So also on Spider, we have to build them ourselves.

A new build script for building HDF5 has been written that solves both issues at once.
