Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The "Plotting" and "Reading and Writing Files" pages are quite long.

Now that we are on pydata-sphinx-theme it would be good to split them out, and make the material more discoverable.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose:

  1. we split io.rst into three different files: netCDF/HDF; Zarr; and Others.
  2. we splitting plotting.rst to: "Lines", "2D Plots", "Scatter, Quiver, & Streamplot", Faceting

Split the material into the proposed netCDF/HDF, Zarr, Others, Lines, 2D Plots, Scatter/Quiver/Streamplot, and Faceting pages, and confirm the resulting documentation is easier to discover.
