What kind of change does this PR introduce?
original_shape and chunksizes don't play well together. This PR makes sure that original_shape is always removed before saving a dataset.
Also, (maybe new in the latest version of xarray and engine netcdf4?), it appears that dropping chunksizes leads to unexpected behaviours, such as bloated file size and incorrect chunking on disk. Thus, the chunksizes encoding was made more explicit.
