DOC: Pickle support

[jakirkham]

A really neat feature of Zarr is its ability to easily pickle. This functionality is intentional and tested. However, it doesn't appear to be advertised and IMHO definitely should be. Hopefully we can find the best place to put this information in the docs through discussion here.

How about adding a section to the tutorial? This could be a top-level section (e.g., after "Groups") or could be a sub-section under "Tips and tricks". Might also be worth adding a note into docstrings for the Array, Group and ...Store classes. Any thoughts?

Tips and tricks SGTM. Though no strong preference. Happy to defer to your judgement.

Notes in docstrings sounds good.
