Title: Use `huggingface_hub` cache
Author: lhoestq (MEMBER)
State: closed
Created: 2024-08-15T14:45:22Z

- use `hf_hub_download()` from `huggingface_hub` for HF files
- `datasets` cache_dir is still used for:
  - caching datasets as Arrow files (that back `Dataset` objects)
  - extracted archives, uncompressed files
  - files downloaded via http (datasets with scripts)
- I removed code that were made for http files (and also the dummy_data / mock_download_manager stuff that happened to rely on them and have been legacy for a while now)

Comments:
The docs for this PR live [here](https://moon-ci-docs.huggingface.co/docs/datasets/pr_7105). All of your documentation changes will be reflected on that endpoint. The docs are available until 30 days after the last update.

Nice

fyi the CI failure on test_py310_numpy2 is unrelated to this PR (it's a dependency install failure)
