[FEATURE]: Support reading/writing NetCDF4 from/to buffer (and .nc.gz) #6181
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
There is this veeeeery old PR from 2016 about adding gzip support to NetCDF4 when used with OpenDAP: #817 The last comment, from 2018, claimed that "netCDF4-Python does not support Python file objects". However, this limitation has been solved a long time ago in 2017 in NetCDF4 (Unidata/netcdf4-python#652).
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if xr.Dataset.to_netcdf as well as xr.open_dataset could add support for file-like objects when used with engine="netcdf4". Once this is done, it should be easy to also support .nc.gz files in case of the NETCDF4 format (which is currently only supported in case of NETCDF3).
