Follow-up to TheAlgorithms#15157. h5py ships self-contained manylinux/musllinux wheels (aarch64 included) that bundle their own HDF5, so no system libhdf5 is needed to import or use it. Removing the apt-get step speeds up CI and removes a network dependency; CI will confirm.

Describe your change:
Follow-up to #15157, per @cclauss's suggestion to try dropping
libhdf5-devas well.This removes the
sudo apt-get install --yes libhdf5-devstep frombuild.yml,project_euler.yml(both jobs) andsphinx.yml. Theh5pywheels on PyPI (manylinux and musllinux, x86-64 and aarch64) are self-contained — they bundle their own copy of the HDF5 C library — so no systemlibhdf5is required toimport h5pyor run the tests. Dropping the step removes a network/apt dependency and speeds CI up a little. CI on this PR confirms tests still pass without it.Checklist:
