Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

Currently, only part of the datasets provide `dataset_size`, `download_size`, `size_in_bytes` (and `num_bytes` and `num_examples` inside `splits`). I would want to get this information, or an estimation, for all the datasets.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

- get access to the git information for the dataset files hosted on the hub
- look at the [`Content-Length`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Length) for the files served by HTTP
