Description
This is the pendant of #269 (where we loaded an AreaDefinition from a netCDF/CF file).
In Pytroll, writing to netCDF/CF files is already covered in https://github.com/pytroll/satpy/blob/master/satpy/writers/cf_writer.py
I propose to extract the part related to the AreaDefinition in pyresample (utils/_cf.py) so that the read/write logic is contained in one place.

Research direction
Compare the AreaDefinition handling proposed for pyresample/utils/_cf.py with the existing netCDF/CF writer in satpy/writers/cf_writer.py, alongside the loading work in issue #269. Start by locating the current read logic in pyresample/utils/_cf.py. Done means AreaDefinition encoding is supported and the related read/write logic is consolidated in that module.
