Info for chunking to fix #52

[annefou]

I started to draft the chunking section to fix #52.

@tinaok I started to write some information about the chunking. It needs to be refined that is why I opened a draft PR.

@annefou end of the chunking_introduction_snow.ipynb, it says

Computations on big datasets can be very slow on a single computer, and to optimize its time we may need to parallelize your computations. This is what you will learn in the next episode with Dask.

Is this somewhere in this branch or it is in other branch? or it is not yet in this repo?

We are using dask when creating the snow map but we need here to teach them how to use dask. It needs to be added in the same notebook.

• 2.4_exercises/chunking_introduction_snow.ipynb the setup section's package list, do we keep it? if yes we need to update the package list (for example we do not use matplotlib but use hvplot)

I got the scaling_dask notebook, we can update to fit in the story.
