Description

With the introduction of QUEST and pending merging of Argo access (#427), tracking and handling projections (and ultimately datums) will become important for integrating multiple datasets. The logical place to add this is to the GenQuery super class, with handling/checks in the Spatial Class (used directly by GenQuery).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the GenQuery class and Spatial class in icepyx to understand current structure and identify where projection handling should be added. Review linked issue #427 for context on Argo access. Implement projection checks in the Spatial class.
