This lets us NaNs instead of masked arrays to indicate missing values.

This is going to conflict with my change https://github.com/akleeman/xray/pull/21 but I'm definitely in favor of moving it to conventions.

Notes:
Failing tests: I added an "encoded_dtype" attribute to keep of the original dtype of variables loaded from a netCDF file. Unfortunately, this means most of the round-trip tests currently fail, because no variables have "encoded_dtype" attributes until they are loaded from netCDF files. I think we will need to make some ugly trade-off to get round tripping working both directions, but I'm not yet sure what the best option is. We could:
FWIW, I think it's OK if we don't preserve data types in the round-trip process, as long as the data itself is equivalent. I'm not entirely opposed to trying, but in general it is very hard to guarantee that serialized/unserialized data is exactly equivalent. There is somewhat of a conflict between preserving the original data (netCDF-like) and representing the data in a sane format in-memory (which should not be exactly like a netCDF). IMHO, we should focus on the later. |

Once the variable has been scaled and offset should we remove those attributes (or add underscores)?

This is the for serializing to netCDF logic, so we need these attributes around still if we want to round trip things properly.
On the other hand, I'm not so certain now that exactly faithful round-trip behavior netCDF->xray->netCDF is behavior we want (see above).

OK, the last commit implements the suggested approach in #26 and all tests pass. There is not yet a test for toggling Please take a look when you get the chance :). |

add_offset -> scale_factor
Miscelaneous bugs in mask/scale serialization also fixed.

See the new commits for more comprehensive tests of encoding/decoding. |
Datasets now have an optional constructor argument which determines whether CF-variables are converted or stored raw.

_decode_cf should not add additional state to Dataset. Instead it should be passed on to _set_variables and _as_variable. If we want the option to use CF decoding later, we should expose set_variables as a public method.
