Feature Request: support endian argument to createVariable

[glenfletcher]

You mention in the readme "We don't support the endian argument to createVariable. The h5py API does not appear to offer this feature."

h5py dose support endianness buts its a component of the dtype i.e. dtype='<f8' is little, while dtype='>f8' is big, you can use the newbyteorder function on a numpy dype object to set it like so

>>> np.dtype("<f, >f")
dtype([('f0', '<f4'), ('f1', '>f4')])
>>> np.dtype("<f, >f").newbyteorder('>')
dtype([('f0', '>f4'), ('f1', '>f4')])
>>> np.dtype("<f, >f").newbyteorder('<')
dtype([('f0', '<f4'), ('f1', '<f4')])

@glenfletcher 5+ years is a long time, but maybe you are still looking for that feature. It's approaching in #124.
