This currently uses the development version of intake-esgf. This should only be merged once there has been a new release of intake-esgf.

This PR indirectly (via fixing all it takes to have the next release of intake-esgf supported) closes #3222

excellent! I closed those two PRs I made for repairing the tests and testing with dev intake-esgf, but can you please pop the install of gh/main dev intake-esgf in the GHA test too - just to make sure all works fine, then we'll remove it - Zizmor will fail but you can turn off that temporarily? And of course we should remember to pin intake-esgf, which is a bit strict, but heyho 🍻

nevermind, I've popped the GHA runs in 5d8c029 and it's biutiful, all works well 🍻 Let's keep the testing gubbins until we get a new release of intake-esgf - shall we go and pester Nathan to cut one piece new release soon?
