remove HDF5 library version assert (#31)

* This assertion fails the CI log-based-vol tests when run. It might also be better as a compile-time assertion. Remove the check and reintroduce it after finalizing semantic versioning in HDF5 and other needed updates to the lower and upper library versions when new HDF5 with semantic versioning is released.

* install missing Ubuntu packages for CI
