Lazy data files resolution and offline cache reload
State: closed

Includes both https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6458 and https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6459

This PR should be merged instead of the two individually, since they are conflicting

## Offline cache reload

 it can reload datasets that were pushed to hub if they exist in the cache.

example:

```python
>>> Dataset.from_dict({"a": [1, 2]}).push_to_hub("lhoestq/tmp")
>>> load_dataset("lhoestq/tmp")
DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['a'],
        num_rows: 2
    })
})
```

and later, without connection:

```python
>>> load_dataset("lhoestq/tmp")
Using the latest cached version of the dataset since lhoestq/tmp couldn't be found on the Hugging Face Hub
Found the latest cached dataset configuration 'default' at /Users/quentinlhoest/.cache/huggingface/datasets/lhoestq___tmp/default/0.0.0/da0e902a945afeb9 (last modified on Wed Dec 13 14:55:52 2023).
DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['a'],
        num_rows: 2
    })
})
```

- Updated `CachedDatasetModuleFactory` to look for datasets in the cache at `<namespace>___<dataset_name>/<config_id>`
- Since the metadata configs parameters are not available in offline mode, we don't know which folder to load (config_id and hash change), so I simply load the latest one
  - I instantiate a BuilderConfig even if there is no metadata config with the right config_name
  - Its config_id is equal to the config_name to be able to retrieve it in the cache (no more suffix for configs from metadata configs)
  - We can reload this config if offline mode by specifying the right config_name (same as online !)
- Consequences of this change:
  - Only when there are user's parameters it creates a custom builder config with config_id = config_name + user parameters hash
  - the hash used to name the cache folder takes into account the metadata config and the dataset info, so that the right cache can be reloaded when there is internet connection without redownloading the data or resolving the data files. For local directories I hash the builder configs and dataset info, and for datasets on the hub I use the commit sha as hash.
  - cache directories now look like `config/version/commit_sha` for hub datasets which is clean :)

Fix https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/3547

## Lazy data files resolution

this makes this code run in 2sec instead of >10sec

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("glue", "sst2", streaming=True, trust_remote_code=False)
```

For some datasets with many configs and files it can be up to 100x faster.
This is particularly important now that some datasets will be loaded from the Parquet export instead of the scripts.

The data files are only resolved in the builder `__init__`. To do so I added DataFilesPatternsList and DataFilesPatternsDict that have `.resolve()` to return resolved DataFilesList and DataFilesDict

> Naive question: is there any breaking change when loading?

No breaking changes except that the cache folders are different

e.g. for glue sst2 (has parquet export)

```

There was a last bug I just fixed: if you modify a dataset and reload it from the hub it won't download the new version - I think I need to use another hash to name the cache directory
edit: fixed

I switched to using the git commit sha for the cache directory, which is now `config/version/commit_sha` :) much cleaner than before.

And for local file it's a hash that takes into account the resolved files (and their last modified dates)

I also ran the `transformers` CI on this branch and it's green

FYI `huggingface_hub` will have a release on tuesday/wednesday (will speed up load_dataset data files resolution which is now needed for datasets loaded from parquet export) so we can aim on merging this around the same time and do a release on thursday

Merging this one, and hopefully the cache backward compatibility PR soon too :)

Then it will be release time
