This is highly WIP and probably everything is broken right now... Just creating this now, so other people don't work on the same :) Feel free to continue here with me.

@pydata/xarray 1. what do we do with commonly used functions, is it ok to copy them? 2. Moving the typed ops requires a lot of functions to be added to NamedArray, is there a consensus of what we want to move? Is it basically everything? 3. Slowly the utils module is becomming a graveyard of stuff we dont want to put elsewhere, maybe we should at least move the typing stuff over to a types module.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Coarsen reductions are currently added dynamically which is not very useful for typing. This is a follow-up to @Illviljan in https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/6702#discussion_r900700532_

Same goes for Weighted. And similar for Rolling (not sure if it is exactly the same though?)

Describe the solution you'd like

Extend the generate_reductions script to include DataArrayCoarsen and DatasetCoarsen. Once finished: use type checking in all test_coarsen tests.

What happened?

I tried to assign values to a dataset with a selector-dict where a variable is missing the dim from the selector-dict. This raises a ValueError.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect that assigning works the same as selecting and it will ignore the missing dims.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

```Python import xarray as xr

ds = xr.Dataset({"a": ("x", [1, 2, 3]), "b": ("y", [4, 5])})

ds[{"x": 1}]

this works and returns:

<xarray.Dataset>

Dimensions: (y: 2)

Dimensions without coordinates: y

Data variables:

a int64 2

b (y) int64 4 5

ds[{"x": 1}] = 1

this fails and raises a ValueError

ValueError: Variable 'b': indexer {'x': 1} not available

```

Relevant log output

```Python Traceback (most recent call last): File "xarray/core/dataset.py", line 1591, in _setitem_check var_k = var[key] File "xarray/core/dataarray.py", line 740, in getitem return self.isel(indexers=self._item_key_to_dict(key)) File "xarray/core/dataarray.py", line 1204, in isel variable = self._variable.isel(indexers, missing_dims=missing_dims) File "xarray/core/variable.py", line 1181, in isel indexers = drop_dims_from_indexers(indexers, self.dims, missing_dims) File "xarray/core/utils.py", line 834, in drop_dims_from_indexers raise ValueError( ValueError: Dimensions {'x'} do not exist. Expected one or more of ('y',)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "xarray/core/dataset.py", line 1521, in setitem value = self._setitem_check(key, value) File "xarray/core/dataset.py", line 1593, in _setitem_check raise ValueError( ValueError: Variable 'b': indexer {'x': 1} not available ```

Anything else we need to know?

No response
