When using xarray with the dask.distributed scheduler it would be useful to be able to persist intermediate DataArrays / Datasets on remote workers.

There could be a persist method analogous to the compute method introduced in #1024. Potential issues with this approach are:

  1. What are the semantics of this operation for the general case where dask or distributed are not used?
  2. Is it justified to add an operation which is rather specific to the distributed scheduler?

(Could create a separate issue for this if preferred).
