Description

As far as I know, one can pretrain fine using TinyStories:

```python
litgpt/pretrain.py --data litgpt.data.TinyStories
```

Should we add this to the documentation?

Right now, we only have a `pretrain_tinyllama.md` doc that pretrains on `SlimPajama` and `StarCoder`.

What I propose is

- create a general `pretraining.md`
- inside this document
- explain the general pretraining script
- add the `pretrain_tinyllama.md` contents as a section there
- add a TinyStories section

What do you think?
