Add pytables recipe from defaults channel

Pytables recipe from the defaults channel.

Reason: The pytables packages from the defaults channel, for python 3.7, are not compatible with bob's version of hdf5 (1.10.6). There are compatible version for python 3.8 and 3.9, so it will be possible to drop this once we move to python 3.8+

I don't know what to do with the pip and cython dependencies. How does bob handle those ?

They are using mock for testing the package, but bob's using nosetest or py-test ? Should we try to change that ?

Also can you confirm that the lzo bzip2 numexpr blosc dependencies should be added to the conda_build_config.yaml ?

Not sure what goes wrong with the macos build. Looks like permission issues ? https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/conda/-/jobs/221762#L142

I don't get it. Is this question relevant to this MR? Who are they?

yes.

You're getting segmentation faults on mac builds. This issue is being tracked in nightlies#59 (closed)

pip and cython are just dependencies of the pytables package: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/conda/-/blob/pytables/conda/pytables/meta.yaml#L32

I was wondering if there was some special treatment for these specific dependencies, or if we just add them to conda_build_config.yaml

About mock: it is also a dependency of the package, and it is used to test it after the build. Since bob's package are using different testing libraries, I was wondering we'd rather change it.

no try not to change the recipe.

Is it ok now ?
