[gdal-dev] 2D multiband to 3D MULTIDIM results in duplicated "x" dimension

Michael,

fixed per https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11005

Otherwise just do "gdal_translate Rlogo.png Rlogo.zarr -of Zarr" . By 
default the Zarr driver translates GDAL bands as the Z dimension, unless 
you specify the SINGLE_ARRAY=NO creation option, in which case it will 
create a Zarr array per band (so a different default as the netCDF driver).
