Include band center wavelengths in data and/or metadata #6

Description

@pont-us

it could also be very useful to have the band center wavelengths stored in the dataset attributes, e.g. as enmap_dataset.attrs["wavelengths"] (or something similar, not sure what the best convention would be).

The metadata file already contains <wavelengthCenterOfBand> for every band. In principle, the wavelengths are always the same, but I think sometimes they can vary slightly depending on calibration, version, etc. It would be nice to have them included in the dataset attributes as a list, so users can be sure they are working with the exact values from the product.

Certainly it would be no problem to extract those wavelengths from METADATA.XML and add them as attribute values. Additionally, we could add them as a an alternative co-ordinate set for the band dimension, which would enable things like slice selection/subsetting directly with wavelength ranges. @remoteJorge Do you think that could be useful?
