Add option ignore_keys (similar to filter_keys)

When a user wants to open a grib file containing multiple gribs with inconsistent values, cfgrib refuses (rightfully) to merge them, leading to an error such as:
DatasetBuildError: multiple values for unique key, try re-open the file with one of:
filter_by_keys={'dataType': 'pf'}
filter_by_keys={'dataType': 'cf'}
While this solves some issues, it is not enough when the user does not want to filter, but prefers to ignore this key. I would like to extend the filter_keys
option and add a new ignore_keys
option.
For a key in the list provided by the user in ignore_keys
, cfgrib should force the value to None when reading these keys. And the error message above could become:
DatasetBuildError: multiple values for unique key, try re-open the file with one of:
filter_by_keys={'dataType': 'pf'}
filter_by_keys={'dataType': 'cf'}
ignore_keys=['dataType']
This is related to ecmwf/climetlab#33 (and maybe others, such as #263 and #268 and https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/372729/unable-to-read-grib-datas-with-xarray).
