Update nwb-schema to 2.11.0 and require HDMF 6.2.0

[rly]

Updates the nwb-schema submodule to the NWB Schema 2.11.0 release candidate and raises the minimum HDMF version to 6.2.0.

Companion to NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwb-schema#710, which covers the "Ensure PyNWB and MatNWB have branches that have passing tests" item on that release checklist.

Changes

• Pointed src/pynwb/nwb-schema at f7dae71 ("Prepare 2.11.0 release"), which sets the schema version to 2.11.0 and brings in HDMF Common Schema 1.10.0.
• Raised hdmf from >=6.1.0,<7 to >=6.2.0,<7 in pyproject.toml, and pinned environment-ros3.yml to hdmf==6.2.0.
• Updated the changelog entry to name 2.11.0 and record the MeaningsTable.target change and the HDMF floor bump.

Why HDMF 6.2.0 is required

NWB Schema 2.11.0 carries HDMF Common Schema 1.10.0, which changes MeaningsTable.target from a link to an object-reference attribute. HDMF 6.2.0 bundles that same schema version (e7f84f0), so the Python-side MeaningsTable definition matches. HDMF 6.1.0 bundles 1.9.0 and still treats target as a link.

HDMF 6.2.0 also fixes writing the unit and time_before_peak_in_ms attributes on the Units waveform columns. Under 6.1.0 both fell back to their schema defaults on write, so TestUnitsCustomWaveformUnitIO and TestUnitsWaveformTimeBeforePeakIO failed on dev regardless of which schema commit the submodule pointed at.

Testing

Full suite run locally against schema 2.11.0 with HDMF 6.2.0:

848 passed, 15 skipped, 19 warnings, 6768 subtests passed

For comparison, the same suite on dev with HDMF 6.1.0 gives 8 failed, 844 passed, 6764 subtests passed. All 8 failures are the two waveform test classes described above and are resolved by the HDMF bump.

Before merging

The submodule points at a commit on the prepare_2.11.0 branch of nwb-schema, not a tag. Retarget it at the 2.11.0 tag once nwb-schema#710 merges and the tag is pushed.
