I needed to install it, but I'm not sure if there is a better way to avoid it. This PR is just a suggestion.

I think HDF5 is an edge case and most users will probably stick to the other formats that are supported, if they even utilize the export/import. Requiring HDF5 by default may be less helpful as one might not want to install the HDF5 lib.

In addition to the text you've added, I'd suggest providing it as an extra dependency if wished and to import it when needed. Users then may install it like this:

pip install easydataverse["hdf5"]

What do you think?
