Both enums were private to hl::group, so iter_visit could only be called with Default::default() for the order arguments. The previously private TraversalOrder is renamed to IndexType with variants Name and CreationOrder, matching H5_index_t.

index_type now comes before iteration_order, as in H5Literate2. Until IndexType and IterationOrder were exported the order arguments could only be passed as Default::default(), so the reorder breaks no caller. The closure takes the link name and LinkInfo and returns Result<()>. Its error is returned from iter_visit instead of being reported as a stop with a partial result. The group argument is dropped since H5Literate always passes back the group being iterated, and the accumulator argument is dropped since the closure can capture its own state. find_link takes a closure returning Result<Option<B>> and stops at the first Some, returning the value. Together with the error this maps onto the continue, stop and fail returns of the C callback. iter_visit_from takes a LinkCursor and returns the cursor of the next link together with the value, so a stopped iteration can be resumed. The cursor carries the index type and iteration order it counts along, so it cannot be reused with a different traversal. A cursor at or past the last link yields None instead of the HDF5 out of bounds error. A panic in the closure is resumed after H5Literate returns instead of being reported as an HDF5 error.
The bitflags allowed INDEXED without TRACKED, a combination HDF5 rejects when the property list is built, so the invalid state was only caught at runtime. The enum with Untracked, Tracked and Indexed cannot express it, and matches LinkCreationOrder.
FileCreate and DatasetCreate already expose both. A group tracking attribute creation order is what h5py's track_order=True and netCDF-4 produce, and it is required for iterating attributes by creation order.
