Current behavior:

air0 = airtemp.air.isel(time=0) air0.plot()

Preferred behavior:

Currently the plot titles are truncated at 50 characters using DataArray._title_for_slice(self, truncate=50). To implement the new behavior we can just make this become DataArray._title_for_slice(self, truncate=50, each=10) which will additionally truncate each variable at 10 characters. This works well for dates.

For discussion- Do we add something indicating the variable was truncated? Like trailing ellipsis: time = 2012-12-31...
