Module dimensions 

Reconstruct NetCDF-4 dimensions from HDF5 metadata.

NetCDF-4 stores dimension information as:

• Scale datasets (one per dimension) with CLASS=DIMENSION_SCALE attribute
• DIMENSION_LIST attribute on each variable dataset referencing the scales
• REFERENCE_LIST attribute on scale datasets (back-references)
• _Netcdf4Dimid attribute to assign stable dimension IDs
• NAME attribute on scale datasets gives the dimension name

Unlimited dimensions are represented by chunked datasets whose maximum dimension in the dataspace is H5S_UNLIMITED.
