start work on results classes

[ebolch]

This is what @jhkennedy, @JessicaS11 and I started work on during the 2024-10-29 Hackday.

The end goal is to return a results class object rather than a list, using the existing DataCollections / DataGranules classes. This could enable results to be combined (and possibly filtered to only certain assets?)

The first step we discussed/started was adding a load method to store actual results and a granules property to allow the object to still function as a list.

The long-term plan would have functions like download and open act on this object rather than expecting the user to supply granules and provider inputs.

There is more discussion here.

@ebolch great! Thanks for opening the PR!

How would you live to move forward with it? I can spend a little time hacking and leave some TODOs to circle back to, just outline a gameplan, or we can wait until the next hackday to team up on it? I'm happy to drive or let you drive.

[ebolch]

@jhkennedy I'm pretty flexible on how we move forward. I'm planning to spend some time working on this next week, but some guidance on how to make the changes would be great. Feel free to do some hacking or outline TODOs if you have time, otherwise I'll try to make some progress and then we can continue next hackday.

@ebolch @jhkennedy Likewise I'd be happy to spend some time contributing to this (and could do so this week), so if it's helpful to assign me a few to-dos, please do!

[jhkennedy]

I'm going to close this PR, push this branch directly to nsidc/earthaccess, and open a new PR so that we can collaborate on this feature more easily.
