Extend NetCDF zlib compression to UGRIDΒ #6565

Description

✨ Feature Request

Reference #6552.

NetCDF zlib compression has been extended to cover auxiliary coordinates and ancillary variables with the same shape as the cube data payload (excluding string dtypes).

@pp-mo Had thoughts on offering a richer, more flexible opt-in experience for users, which may be part of the scope of this task (see #6552), but primarily the focus would be to also support zlib compression of associated UGRID variables.

This would be a major win for the community with regards to minimising the serialized NetCDF footprint on disk, which ATM is a common objection.
