`UxDataset` showing original grid topology var names than what's in `Grid`
Describe the feature you'd like added to this project
There are cases where the dataset files include the grid topology information, just like a grid topology file. In such cases, UxDataset has also the grid topology variables (e.g. in MPAS case latCell, lonCell, cellsOnEdges, etc.) in it, in which it feels a bit awkward to see the dataset with those source grid format's original names while we have the uxds.uxgrid have our standardized names (I know we are supposed to always use grid topology info through .uxgrid, but it may still get confusing in the user's end, for instance when hovering over the uxds in an IDE).
We may need to address this in some ways.
See the following screenshots of uxds and 'uxds.uxgrid' for the aforementioned MPAS example:
uxds
uxds.uxgrid
Describe the solution you'd like
Preliminary thought is to either show the same grid topology var names as the Grid object or filter out the grid topology variables at all at the UxDataset level.
