Issue: Add section in tutorial for IterableDataset
State: closed
Author: stevhliu

Introduces an `IterableDataset` and how to access it in the tutorial section. It also adds a brief next step section at the end to provide a path for users who want more explanation and a path for users who want something more practical and learn how to preprocess these dataset types. It'll complement the awesome new doc introduced in:

- #5410
