More examples

[tomwhite]

One of the things that became apparent from AGU was that we need more examples!

Here are a few that I'd like to add:

• Zarr. Read a regular Zarr array (using from_zarr), apply some array operations, then write the result out as Zarr (using to_zarr).
• Xarray. Open a Zarr store as an Xarray Dataset, apply some array operations, then write the result out as Zarr.
• Rechunk. Rechunk an Xarray Dataset. See Basic rechunking example #539
• Icechunk. Same as the above, but using Icechunk.
• VirtualiZarr + Rechunk. Combine some NetCDF files using VirtualiZarr, rechunk (using Cubed), then save. See VirtualiZarr example #646
• Single cloud machine. How to run Cubed on a single (large) cloud instance where we read/write from cloud storage, but intermediate data is stored on SSD.
• Example of map_blocks/apply_gufunc #519

Yes to all of these! Also an example showing that xarray groupby with flox works.

We already have https://flox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-stories/climatology-hourly-cubed.html, but we could add something to the Cubed docs too - even if it's just a link to that page.
