Xarray-simlab fails to store snapshots for output variables with object dtype even when a object_codec is given, e.g,
xs.variable(..., intent='out', encoding={'object_codec' : numcodecs.JSON, 'dtype': object})It yields ValueError: missing object_codec for object array
We should provide a dummy object codec when the given dtype is object here: https://github.com/benbovy/xarray-simlab/blob/45359e99cbf6341464b02cb937618c051a58a31c/xsimlab/stores.py#L74-L77
