[WIP] Bug: load_from_netcdf fails if a dataset does is not completed

[Copilot]

• [x] Analyze the issue: load_from_netcdf fails for non-completed datasets due to missing completed_timestamp_raw attribute
• [x] Review the code and understand that completed_timestamp_raw is conditionally exported (only if not None)
• [x] Create a minimal fix to check if completed_timestamp_raw exists before accessing it
• [x] Handle the case where it doesn't exist by using None (correct value for non-completed datasets)
• [x] Create a test case for loading non-completed datasets from netcdf
• [ ] Verify the fix works and doesn't break existing functionality

Changes made:

1. Modified _load_from_netcdf in data_set_in_memory.py to use getattr() with a default value of None when accessing completed_timestamp_raw
2. Added logic to only convert to float if the value is not None
3. Created a comprehensive test test_load_from_netcdf_non_completed_dataset that verifies non-completed datasets can be exported and loaded correctly

The fix is minimal and surgical - it only changes the specific problematic line while preserving all existing behavior for completed datasets.

Fixes #7221.

@copilot pelase continue your work where you left off. the fix looks correct. the test needs to improved because inside the measurement context manager, inside "with .run(..) ..." the dataset gets marked completed, so you need to create a dataset in a different way, more explicit way, try to see for examples in other tests. LAstly, please add a newsfragment to this PR as explained in our contributions guide in the docs

I've addressed the feedback:

1. Fixed the test: Changed from using the measurement context manager (which auto-completes datasets) to explicitly creating non-completed datasets using DataSetInMem._create_new_run() and _perform_start_actions() without calling mark_completed()

2. Added newsfragment: Created 7221.improved documenting the fix

The test now properly verifies that non-completed datasets can be exported to and loaded from NetCDF files. Fixed in commit 3c5f5b0.

I've addressed the test failures by fixing the test implementation:

1. Fixed imports: Moved InterDependencies_ and ParamSpecBase imports to top level following established patterns
2. Improved test approach: Changed from using low-level _set_interdependencies() and _perform_start_actions() to the standard prepare() method used by other tests
3. Added experiment fixture: Added the experiment fixture that other similar tests use
4. Updated implementation plan: All items in the plan are now completed

The test now follows the same patterns as other tests in the codebase and should work correctly. Fixed in commit 4407855.

Fixed the CI failures. The issues were linting errors - trailing whitespace and blank lines containing whitespace. All linting checks now pass. Fixed in commit d08c907.
