Prepare a bit to let the shadow index "float": drastically simplify H5FD__vfd_swmr_index_deserialize(): reuse h5_retry_init()/h5_retry_next() for retry loops. Don't wait for the fstat(2) to read the correct size, because the read(2) will return short if the file isn't long enough. (This change should save at least one system call, always.) Leave a bunch of comments about the changes that I will have to make so that the shadow index will float. NFCI: do not cast H5MM_malloc() return values, this is not C++.
