mean returns empty DataArray for groupby_bins containing datetime64 #6995
Description
What happened?
Applying the mean operator to an xarray dataset that has been grouped by bins, removes variables containing values of type datetime64.
What did you expect to happen?
I expect that all variables are preserved after applying the mean-operator. For min and max this works as expected. sum is not meaningful, so it makes sense that the variable is dropped in that case as well.

times = pd.date_range('2020-01-01', '2020-02-01', freq='1H')
index = np.arange(len(times))
bins = np.arange(0,len(index),5)
ds=xr.Dataset({'time':('index', times),'float':('index', np.linspace(0,1,len(index)))},coords={'index':index})

- Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
- Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
- Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
- New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
