Don't convert data with time units to timedeltas by default

See original GitHub issue

Don’t convert data with time units to timedeltas by default. Most of the time this behavior is not desirable (e.g: wave period data).

@shoyer suggest:

possibly we should add an explicit toggle for decoding timedeltas vs datetimes.

To answer your original question: yes, separate decode_timedeltasand decode_datetimes options seems like a sane way to handle this.
