Description

This PR adds backward compatibility support for UKV variable name changes (#364).

Problem: New UKV data uses different dimension names (x_osgb, y_osgb) while legacy data uses (x, y). The current code always renames x→x_osgb and y→y_osgb, which breaks with the new dataset.

Solution: Modified the open_ukv function to conditionally rename spatial coordinates only when legacy dimension names (x, y) are present. This maintains compatibility with both:

• Legacy data (renames x→x_osgb, y→y_osgb)
• New data (no renaming needed since dimensions are already x_osgb, y_osgb)

How Has This Been Tested?

• Tested with both legacy and new UKV dataset formats
• Verified spatial coordinates are properly handled in both cases
• Confirmed the function doesn't break existing workflows

If your changes affect data processing, have you plotted any changes? i.e. have you done a quick sanity check?

• Yes - verified data structure and coordinate naming in both scenarios

Hi @aouatefm, I am not a maintainer but wanted to understand how did you come up with ds.dims(). Is this something from tensorflow or will get to know if we setup the project?

@aouatefm can you remove this comment. I don't think it improves the clarity of the code

@aouatefm thanks for this contribution. I've left one comment, but after that this looks good to merge
