Revert change to delta filter

[dstansby]

This reverts #584, as it has caused two issues so far, one of which is unresolved: #653 and #595.

There is a proposed fix at #657, but that is held up under review.

In order to un-break zarr-python, I think reverting here is the right thing to do (so we can do a 0.15 release with other stuff).

My intention is to add a test to #653 to this PR too, so keeping as draft. Opening so there's time for folks to see that I'm intending to do this; cc @jakirkham @ehgus

I hope PR #657 will be reviewed soon as it fixes issue #653, which was caused by unsafe casting. In addition, this PR includes improved tests, so it will be glad someone feedback #657. Thank you for the remind.
