Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I saw that https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc2 has an NDArray solution included now. My understanding is that it has a lazy datasource feature similar to netcdf.
Would it be possible to add xarray support for that backend (similar to netcdf, zarr and others)?

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing xarray's existing netcdf and zarr backend integrations, then examine python-blosc2's NDArray and lazy datasource support. Done would mean a defined xarray backend integration for Blosc2 NDArray data, with its behavior and test coverage established.
