Dataset.map gets stuck on _cast_to_python_objects

## Describe the bug
`Dataset.map`, when fed a Huggingface Tokenizer as its map func, can sometimes spend huge amounts of time doing casts.  A minimal example follows.

Not all usages suffer from this.  For example, I profiled the preprocessor at https://github.com/huggingface/notebooks/blob/main/examples/question_answering.ipynb , and it did _not_ have this problem.  However, I'm at a loss to figure out how it avoids it, as the example below is simple and minimal and still has this problem.

This casting, where it occurs, causes the `Dataset.map` to run approximately 7x slower than it runs for code which does not cause this casting.

This may be related to https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/1046 .  However, the tokenizer is _not_ set to return Tensors.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
A minimal, self-contained example to reproduce is below:
```python
import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from datasets import load_dataset
import torch
import cProfile

pretrained = 'distilbert-base-uncased'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained)

squad = load_dataset('squad')
squad_train = squad['train']
squad_tiny = squad_train.select(range(5000))

assert isinstance(tokenizer, transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerFast)

def tokenize(ds):
        tokens = tokenizer(text=ds['question'],
                                text_pair=ds['context'],
                                add_special_tokens=True,
                                padding='max_length',
                                truncation='only_second',
                                max_length=160,
                                stride=32,
                                return_overflowing_tokens=True,
                                return_offsets_mapping=True,
                                )
        return tokens

cmd = 'squad_tiny.map(tokenize, batched=True, remove_columns=squad_tiny.column_names)'
cProfile.run(cmd, sort='tottime')
```

## Actual results
The code works, but takes 10-25 sec per batch (about 7x slower than non-casting code), with the following profile.  Note that `_cast_to_python_objects` is the culprit.

Are you able to reproduce this? My example is small enough that it should be easy to try.

Hi! Thanks for reporting and providing a reproducible example. Indeed, by default, `datasets` performs an expensive cast on the values returned by `map` to convert them to one of the types supported by PyArrow (the underlying storage format used by `datasets`). This cast is not needed on NumPy arrays as PyArrow supports them natively, so one way to make this transform faster is to add `return_tensors="np"` to the tokenizer call. 

I think we should mention this in the docs (cc @stevhliu)

I tested this tokenize function and indeed noticed a casting. However it seems to only concerns the `offset_mapping` field, which contains a list of tuples, that is converted to a list of lists. Since `pyarrow` also supports tuples, we actually don't need to convert the tuples to lists. 

I think this can be changed here: 

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/ede72d3f9796339701ec59899c7c31d2427046fb/src/datasets/features/features.py#L382-L383

```diff
- if isinstance(obj, list): 
+ if isinstance(obj, (list, tuple)): 
```

and here: 

https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/ede72d3f9796339701ec59899c7c31d2427046fb/src/datasets/features/features.py#L386-L387

```diff
- return obj if isinstance(obj, list) else [], isinstance(obj, tuple)
+ return obj, False
```

@srobertjames can you try applying these changes and let us know if it helps ? If so, feel free to open a Pull Request to contribute this improvement if you want :)

Wow, adding `return_tensors="np"` sped up my example by a **factor 17x** of and completely eliminated the casting! I'd recommend not only to document it, but to make that the default.

The code at https://github.com/huggingface/notebooks/blob/main/examples/question_answering.ipynb does not specify `return_tensors="np"` but yet avoids the casting penalty.  How does it do that?  (The ntbk seems to do `return_overflowing_tokens=True, return_offsets_mapping=True,`).

Also, surprisingly enough, using `return_tensors="pt"` (which is my eventual application) yields this error:
```
TypeError: Provided `function` which is applied to all elements of table returns a `dict` of types 
[<class 'torch.Tensor'>, <class 'torch.Tensor'>, <class 'torch.Tensor'>, <class 'torch.Tensor'>]. 
When using `batched=True`, make sure provided `function` returns a `dict` of types like 
`(<class 'list'>, <class 'numpy.ndarray'>)`.
```

Setting the output to `"np"` makes the whole pipeline fast because it moves the data buffers from rust to python to arrow using zero-copy, and also because it does eliminate the casting completely ;)

Have you had a chance to try eliminating the tuple casting using the trick above ?

@lhoestq I just benchmarked the two edits to `features.py` above, and they appear to solve the problem, bringing my original example to within 20% the speed of the output `"np"` example.  Nice!

For a pull request, do you suggest simply following https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md ?

Cool ! Sure feel free to follow these instructions to open a PR :) thanks !
