Write CRS information in _load_remote_dataset, so that we don't have to repeat it in load_blue_marble/load_black_marblue.

I have very little knowledge about CRS, datums or geodesy stuff, so here are my questions:

  1. Does it makes sense to also write CRS for grids, rather than just images?
  2. Currently, we define attributes horizontal_datum and vertical_datum. These attributes were added since the start of the project (Add metadata to Earth relief grids #248). As far as I can see, these attributes are not standard attributes in CF-convention (https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.8/cf-conventions.html), and they are part of the CRS. So, perhaps we should remove these two attributes?
