Trying to quantify a DataArray describing a dimension after pulling it out fails:

In [2]: ds = xr.Dataset(coords={"x": ("x", [0, 1], {"units": "m"}), "y": ("y", [5, 6, 7], {"units": "m"})})
   ...: ds

Dimensions:  (x: 2, y: 3)
Coordinates:
  * x        (x) int64 0 1
  * y        (y) int64 5 6 7
Data variables:
    *empty*

In [3]: q = ds.pint.quantify()
   ...: q
Out[3]: 
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (x: 2, y: 3)
Coordinates:
  * x        (x) int64 0 1

ValueError: cannot create a Dataset from a DataArray with the same name as one of its coordinates

We should try to fix this.
