feat: Support for masked arrays (fixes #3744)

[abishop1990]

Adds support for numpy masked arrays in Zarr. When a masked array is provided to zarr.array(), it is automatically converted to a filled array with a warning that the mask is not preserved.

Changes

• Added masked array detection in async array() function
• Automatically convert masked arrays to filled arrays using .filled()
• Added warning to inform users that the mask is not preserved
• Added comprehensive tests for masked array support
• Supports both Zarr v2 and v3 formats
• Works with 1D, 2D, and higher-dimensional arrays

Tests

• Handles basic masked arrays
• Preserves unmasked values
• Works with explicit dtype specifications
• Works with explicit chunk specifications
• Handles fully masked and partially masked arrays
• Works with both Zarr v2 and v3 formats
• Preserves dtype information
• Respects custom fill values
• Regular arrays remain unaffected

When a masked array is provided to zarr.array(), it is automatically converted to a filled array with a warning that the mask is not preserved.

Did someone request this particular solution? I suspect users of masked arrays want the ability to store a masked array, not a masked array with the mask removed.

Closing: Implementation needs more comprehensive redesign. The linting issues suggest the approach needs rethinking. Deferring this feature to future sprint.
