Allow Codec for compression for use with LINDI

[magland]

Motivation

While hdf5 does not allow numcodecs.Codec for compression, lindi does. Right now hdmf does type checking for the compression parameter and raises an exception if the type is not in (str, bool, int). This PR simply allows the Codec type to be passed through so that it can be used with lindi.

How to test the behavior?

Here's an example that applies a custom compressor to filtered ephys data

You need to install the lindi-tar branch of lindi and pip install qfc. See https://github.com/magland/qfc
