Today @jhamman and I discussed how to refactor our somewhat fragmented "examples". We decided to basically copy the approach of the dask-examples repo, but have it live here in the main xarray repo. Basically this approach is: - all examples are notebooks - examples are rendered during doc build by nbsphinx - we will eventually have a binder that works with all of the same examples

This PR removes the dependency on sphinx_gallery and replaces the existing gallery with a standalone notebook called visualization_gallery.ipynb. However, not all of the links that worked in the gallery work here, since we are now using nbsphinx to render the notebooks (see https://github.com/spatialaudio/nbsphinx/issues/308).

Really important to get @dcherian's feedback on this, as he was the one who originally introduced the gallery. My view is that having everything as notebooks makes examples easier to maintain. But I'm curious to hear other views.
