Chantelle had a use case where she wanted to write out a time series zarr but could only prepare the source array sequentially, one timestep at a time. She wanted to use the writer to write sub-arrays incrementally.

Description of Changes

So I am adding a toffset parameter to the zarr writer. The writer will then attempt to write the given time series starting at the given t offset.

In this way you can call write_t_batches_from_array more than once, in a loop, passing in smaller amounts of t at a time.

A unit test is added to show how this should be used. You can just call write_t_batches_array in a loop now.

A future generalization of this could be to pass in even smaller parts of the array and give the writer a tczyx offset of where to start writing the input data.

Nice!! Only comment would be that it might be nice to have an example of this in the top level writer docstring
