Description
Currently when we read a Zarr dataset we ignore all variables that have "bnd" in their name. Instead of ignoring the bounds we should use this information to construct a dimension with Intervals instead of points.
An example dataset that we can use for that would be at http://tinyurl.com/GLDAS-NOAH025-3H from the geozarr interoperability issue https://github.com/zarr-developers/geozarr-spec/issues/36

Research direction
Start by tracing the Zarr dataset reader and the handling of variables whose names contain "bnd". Use the GLDAS-NOAH025-3H dataset linked in the issue and the GeoZarr interoperability discussion as reference; done means bounds are used to construct dimension Intervals instead of being discarded.
