Description
Rather than unpacking the EOS data into lots of bloated plain text files, and then further bloating by caching them as `.bin` files, we can restructure these as hdf5 files to save a lot of space and speed up i/o.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by locating the EOS table unpacking, .bin caching, and table-reading paths, then define the HDF5 representation and update the relevant consumers; done means the tables use less space and I/O is faster without breaking EOS access.
