v0.17.0

HDF5 v0.17.0

HDF5 v0.17.0 includes a breaking change with regard to how system HDF5 libraries are incorporated for use with HFD5.jl as submitted in #1061 by @JoshuaLampert .

This switches to Preferences.jl for using a system-provided hdf5 library and replaces the additional build step. Please see the [note in the documentation](https://juliaio.github.io/HDF5.jl/v0.17/#Using-custom-or-system-provided-HDF5-binaries for details) on the new Preferences.jl based system and how to migrate from v0.16.x branch.
