Create dataset_to_xarray_notebook.ipynb

[ThomasMGeo]

Added a notebook to easily convert datasets to xarray using siphon. I could not get all of the interactivity that I wanted to extend this notebook into plotting.

Future notebooks will cover plotting and processing. Will think about appropriate places to put them (either here or project pythia, xarray docs, etc.).

Thanks!

Woo! 🎉
I have 2 questions:

1. What type of dataset is this notebook targeting?
2. Is this something that is useful to distribute with the TDS war, or something that we should just put on our server (in which case we'd want to transfer this PR over to TdsConfig)

1. Two main sections that come to mind: Forecast Model Data & Forecast Products and Analyses. Any dataset that works well in siphon and is gridded x,y, (z,t) types of data. 2. Unsure! I was just thinking about having another notebook on the preview tab. Happy to put wherever makes the most sense.

Ok great - I think I'd lean toward trying it out on our THREDDS server first, which would mean opening a PR on the TdsConfig repo. That's my bad for pointing you to the wrong issue at the start: this one
I can help with configuring it for those datasets if you'd like
