Title: switching some low-level log.info's to log.debug?

In https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/12276 we are now changing the examples to have `datasets` on the same log level as `transformers`, so that one setting can do a consistent logging across all involved components.

The trouble is that now we get a ton of these:

```
06/23/2021 12:15:31 - INFO - datasets.utils.filelock -   Lock 139627640431136 acquired on /home/stas/.cache/huggingface/metrics/sacrebleu/default/default_experiment-1-0.arrow.lock

06/23/2021 12:15:31 - INFO - datasets.arrow_dataset -   Set __getitem__(key) output type to python objects for no columns  (when key is int or slice) and don't output other (un-formatted) columns.
06/23/2021 12:15:31 - INFO - datasets.utils.filelock -   Lock 139627640431136 released on /home/stas/.cache/huggingface/metrics/sacrebleu/default/default_experiment-1-0.arrow.lock
```

May I suggest that these can be `log.debug` as it's no informative to the user.

More examples: these are not informative - too much information:
```
06/23/2021 12:14:26 - INFO - datasets.load -   Checking /home/stas/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads/459933f1fe47711fad2f6ff8110014ff189120b45ad159ef5b8e90ea43a174fa.e23e7d1259a8c6274a82a42a8936dd1b87225302c6dc9b7261beb3bc2daac640.py for additional imports.

```

While these are:
```
06/23/2021 12:14:27 - INFO - datasets.info -   Loading Dataset Infos from /home/stas/.cache/huggingface/modules/datasets_modules/datasets/wmt16/0d9fb3e814712c785176ad8cdb9f465fbe6479000ee6546725db30ad8a8b5f8a

```

I also realize that `transformers` examples don't have do use `info` for `datasets` to let the default `warning` keep logging to less noisy.

But I think currently the log levels are slightly misused and skewed by 1 level. Many `warnings` will better be `info`s and most `info`s be `debug`.

e.g.:

```
06/23/2021 12:14:27 - WARNING - datasets.builder -   Reusing dataset wmt16 (/home/stas/.cache/huggingface/datasets/wmt16/ro-en/1.0.0/0d9fb3e814712c785176ad8cdb9f465fbe6479000ee6546725db30ad8a8b5f8a)
```

why is this a warning? it is informing me that the cache is used, there is nothing to be worried about. I'd have it as `info`.

Warnings are typically something that's bordering error or the first thing to check when things don't work as expected.

infrequent info is there to inform of the different stages or important events.

Everything else is debug.

At least the way I understand things.
