What happened?

When concatenating two objects with xr.concat along a new dimension given through a DataArray, the attributes of this given coordinate are lost in the concatenation.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the concatenation coordinate to be identical to the 1D DataArray I gave to concat.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

```Python import xarray as xr

ds = xr.tutorial.open_dataset("air_temperature")

concat_dim = xr.DataArray([1, 2], dims=("condim",), attrs={"an_attr": "yep"}, name="condim")

out = xr.concat([ds, ds], concat_dim) out.condim.attrs ```

Before #5692, I get: {'an_attr': 'yep'} with the current master, I get: {}

Anything else we need to know?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the change is due to xr.core.concat._calc_concat_dim_coord being replaced by xr.core.concat.__calc_concat_dim_index. The former didn't touch the concatenation coordinate, while the latter casts it as an index, thus dropping the attributes in the process.

If the solution is to add a check in xr.concat, I may have time to implement something simple.
