Checklist for releasing a version of xray with dask support

[shoyer]

For dask:

• default threadpool for dask.array
• fix indexing bugs for dask.array
• make a decision on (and if necessary implement) renaming "block" to "chunk"
• fix repeated use of da.insert

For xray:

• update xray for the updated dask (Update xray to use updated dask.array and h5netcdf on pypi #395)
• figure out how to handle caching with the .load() method on dask arrays
• cleanup the xray documentation on dask array.
• write an introductory blog post

Things we can add in an incremental release:

• make non-aggregating grouped operations more useable
• automatic lazy apply for grouped operations on xray objects
