grib_projection should be a coordinate, not variable, I think #299

So, Herbie parses some details about the grid projection in the gribfile_projection variable. I think it would make more sense to put that in the "coordinates" instead.

I'm not sure if there are implications for this, but it seems more appropriate to put that there. Does CF conventions have any preferred standard?

This is done in v2024.5.0, but I'm still waiting to see if there are any implications for this.

no one has complained about this yet, so I'll close this
