Updates H5Sset_extent_none() to set H5S_NULL
The API call used to set the internal H5S_NO_CLASS value which produced errors when such a dataspace was passed to many other API calls. Fixes HDFFV-11027

+ - H5Sset_extent_none() sets the dataspace class to H5S_NO_CLASS which
+ causes asserts/errors when passed to other dataspace API calls.
+
+ H5S_NO_CLASS is an internal class value that should not have been
+ exposed via a public API call.
+
+ In debug builds of the library, this can cause asserts to trip. In
+ non-debug builds, it will produce normal library errors.
+
+ The new library behavior is for H5Sset_extent_none() to convert
+ the dataspace into one of type H5S_NULL, which is better handled
+ by the library and easier for developers to reason about.
