Remove deprecated code
State: closed

What does this PR do?
1. remove `list_files_info` in favor of `list_repo_tree`. As of `0.23`, `list_files_info` will be removed for good. `datasets` had a utility to support both pre-0.20 and post-0.20 versions. Since `hfh` version is already pinned to `>=0.21.2`, I removed the legacy part.
2. `preupload_lfs_files` had also a different behavior between `<0.20` and `>=0.20`. I remove it since huggingface_hub is now pinned to `>=0.21.2`
3. `hf_hub_url` is overwritten to default to the dataset repo_type. I do think it is misleading to keep the same method naming for it. I renamed it to `get_dataset_url` for clarity. Let me know if you prefer to see this change reverted.

Comments:
The docs for this PR live [here](https://moon-ci-docs.huggingface.co/docs/datasets/pr_6761). All of your documentation changes will be reflected on that endpoint. The docs are available until 30 days after the last update.

Thanks for cleaning this :) I'm also fine with renaming `hf_dataset_url` (and not `get_dataset_url` as you said in your OP)

(Yep, `hf_dataset_url` is fine, made a mistake writing the PR description)

@albertvillanova Sorry about that, tests are now fixed! :)
