Add parallel module using joblib for Spark

Discussion in https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/5798

Comments:
Hi @lhoestq, I added the `parallel` part according to the discussion we had. Could you take a look to see if this is aligned with your proposal?

Meanwhile I'm working on adding a `parallel_backend` parameter to `load_datasets` so that it can be used like:
```python
with parallel_backend('spark', steps=['downloading']) as backend:
  ds = load_dataset(..., parallel_backend=backend)
```
where `parallel_backend` is a `ParallelBackend` class.

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

@lhoestq Thanks for the comments!
With your suggestion, no changes made to `load_dataset` and I validated that downloading with spark is working now  with this:
```py
with parallel_backend('spark', steps=["download"]):
      dataset = load_dataset(..., num_proc=2)
```

@lhoestq Can a maintainer help trigger the tests again?
> One idea is to decorate the download method to set the current global step to "download", and then only use joblib if the current step is one of the steps provided in parallel_backend.

Yes I think this is doable in a subsequent PR.
For throwing `NotImplementedError` I also think it can be done in a subsequent PR, because I'm not sure if `Dataset.map` is the only function that a user would expect to run using `with parallel_backend`.

Just triggered the tests :)

I think any Dataset method that has a `num_proc` argument: Dataset.map (the other methods like filter or cast or based on map), and later we can see for the to_xxx methods (to_csv, to_parquet, etc.)

Hi maintainers, I've just addressed most of the comments, please take another look, thank you.
