We should use xarray instead of the MFDatasetCommonDims class #3185

Description

@JanEisermann

I quote @matrss to describe the issue.

"[The MFDatasetCommonDims] class seems to have been copied from MFDataset in the past and has diverged from the super classes implementation in the meantime. It's goal seems to be to merge datasets with different variables in addition to or instead of concatenating along one dimension. Today xarray exists, and this goal could be accomplished in a single line with xarray.open_mfdataset or xarray.combine_by_coords. I think it would improve the code the most if we could refactor it to use xarray instead and rely on a mature library for this purpose."

This issue originated from the following issue: #2750
