This is easy right? You could just add an `xr.show_backends` that points to the same function as `xr.backends.list_engines`? And point out in the docstring that they are actually the same function?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1227144046

```python
from xarray.backends.plugins import list_engines
```
It would be nice to add the `description` & `documentation` properties to `xarray.backends.common.BackendEntrypoint` that can be implemented by external libraries (and internally) and a more official `list_engines` function with the above metadata could be added.
