Description
If a SpatialData object contains the following:
If we filter by an incorrect coordinate system name:
sdata = sdata.filter_by_coordinate_system("X")
This returns an empty sdata object.
An error message would be good to inform that the coordinate system doesn't exist.

Research direction
Start at the filter_by_coordinate_system("X") entry point and reproduce the behavior with a coordinate system name that is absent. Trace how the filtered SpatialData object is created and add a regression test for the invalid name. Done means the call reports that the coordinate system does not exist instead of returning an empty object.
