units = "none"?

I have a dataset with some variables with units: "none". Can we ignore this in pint-xarray or is that not clean enough?
not sure. We currently have None as a way to mark "non-quantities", but I guess we could add 1 and maybe "none" and "1", too. The only issue would be whether "none" conflicts with an actual unit (probably not, though).
apparently we don't support anything like this, yet: while None is used internally to mark "non-quantities", we also use None in the function signatures (especially _decide_units). The result is that overrides are silently ignored, which is truly unfortunate.
