Support indexable objects in `Dataset.__getitem__`
State: closed

As discussed in https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6816, this is needed to support objects that implement `__index__` such as `np.int64` in `Dataset.__getitem__`.

The docs for this PR live [here](https://moon-ci-docs.huggingface.co/docs/datasets/pr_6817). All of your documentation changes will be reflected on that endpoint. The docs are available until 30 days after the last update.
