I am working on some code that creates xray.Datasets with a 'bool' dtype.

Trying to call Dataset.to_netcdf() on this code causes _nc4_values_and_dtype() to raise a ValueError, so I added these few lines to force the storage of these variables as 1-byte integers.

Perhaps it should be 'u1' instead; I can change that if need be.
