This PR adds a check for the dimensionality of add_offset and scale_factor and ensures they are scalar before they are used for further processing, adds a unit test to verify that this works correctly, and a note to the documentation to warn users of this difference between the h5netcdf and netcdf4 engines. - [x] Closes #4471 - [x] Tests added - [x] Passes `isort . && black . && mypy . && flake8` - [x] User visible changes (including notable bug fixes) are documented in `whats-new.rst` ","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/4485/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,,13221727,pull
