Description
@fmassa In the light of recent problems with the meta.bin file of the ImageNet dataset (#1645 #1646 ), I think it is reasonable to ask, if we can provide it together with torchvision. Especially now without official download links for the archives, I think it would be beneficial. With it users that switch to torchvision and only have the image archives do not need to download the devkit.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the problems described in issues #1645 and #1646 and how torchvision currently obtains ImageNet metadata. The requested outcome is to provide meta.bin with torchvision so users with the image archives do not need to download the devkit; confirm the packaging and distribution approach before implementing it.
