Documentation:
--------------
-
- Documented that leaving HDF5 threads running at termination is unsafe

Added doc/threadsafety-warning.md as a warning that threads which use HDF5
resources must be closed before either process exit or library close.
If HDF5 threads are alive during either of these operations, their resources
will not be cleaned up properly and undefined behavior is possible.

This document also includes a discussion on potential ways to mitigate this issue.
