Unify `load_from_cache_file` type and logic
State: closed

* Updating type annotations for  #`load_from_cache_file`
* Added logic for cache checking if needed
* Updated documentation following the wording of `Dataset.map`

_The documentation is not available anymore as the PR was closed or merged._

The commit also includes the changes to the `DatasetDict` methods or am I missing something?

Oh, indeed. Feel free to mark the PR as "Ready for review" then.
