Consolidate cf.read backends with xnetcdf #961

Description

@davidhassell

Consolidate cf.read backends with xnetcdf (https://xnetcdf.readthedocs.io).

This is a companion to NCAS-CMS/cfdm#417 which introduces the core of the functionality, but the API changes need to propagate to cf.

A key feature is that the reading of PP and UM fields files is now handled by cfdm. This means that:

  • nearly all of the code for reading these datasets can be removed (we need to retain the small amount of ode relating to Field aggregation)
  • We need new code to create the 2-d latitudes and longitudes that used to be created in umread.py.
