Support basic xarray-functionality

[mrfh92]

Description

In this PR we add a class DXarray that is somehow similar to xarray.DataArray but with heat.DNDarray's instead of numpy arrays; whenever possible, we use existing Heat-operations or process-local xarray-operations.

So far implemented:

• class DXarray
• interoperability: .xarray() (DXarray to xarray), from_xarray() (xarray to DXarray)
• basic array manipulation: resplit_ (in place resplit of DXarray), balance_ (in place balacing of DXarray)
• miscellaneous: print

To be done (for the beginning):

• I/O (which formats?)
• basic statistics, or --more general-- functions that operate on the data part of a DXarray only
• checkout how more complex operations requiring interaction of data part and coordinates (e.g. interpolation etc.) can be done using xarray as process-local compute engine
• how to handle date-time-coordinates (pandas data frames)?
• ...

Due Diligence

• General:
  • base branch must be main for new features, latest release branch (e.g. release/1.3.x) for bug fixes
  • title of the PR is suitable to appear in the Release Notes
• Implementation:
  • unit tests: all split configurations tested
  • unit tests: multiple dtypes tested
  • documentation updated where needed

@mtar I tried to change benchmark_main.yml, benchmark_pr.yml, and ci.yml in order to install xarray in the CI, but it did not work as expected.
