skshetry 34d80fbfce add support for tracking remote dataset (#10287)
* add support for tracking remote dataset

This adds support for virtually tracking a
dataset such as dvcx dataset, dataset from remote dvc/git
registries, and cloud-versioned remotes.

This PR introduces two different commands under `ds` namespace:
`add` and `update`.

`dvc ds add` command adds the dataset to `dvc.yaml` and tracks
the sources in `dvc.lock` file. Similarly, `dvc ds update`
updates the sources in `dvc.lock` file.

Example Usage:
```console
dvc ds add --name dogs --url dvcx://dogs # tracking dvcx dataset
# tracking dvc/git registries
dvc ds add --name example --url dvc://[email protected]/iterative/example.git
# cloud-versioned-remotes
dvc ds add --name versioning --url s3://cloud-versioning-demo
```

To update, specify the name.
```console
dvc ds update <name>
```

`dvc ds add` freezes (in the traditional sense of `dvc import/import-url`).
It keeps a "specification" of the dataset in `dvc.yaml` and also freezes
information about the dataset in the `dvc.lock` file. They are kept
inside `datasets` section in both `dvc.yaml` and `dvc.lock` files.

This metadata is used in the pipelines. You can add a dependency to your
stage using `ds://` scheme, followed by the name of the dataset in
`dvc.yaml` file. As it is used in pipelines, the `name` of the dataset
has to be unique in the repository. Different dataset of same names
are not allowed. On `dvc repro`, `dvc` copies the frozen information
about the particular dataset into the `deps` field for the stage in
`dvc.lock`. On successive invocation, `dvc` will compare the information
from the deps field of the lock with the frozen information in the
`datasets` section and decides whether to rerun or not.

As the dataset is frozen, `dvc repro` won't rerun until the dataset is
updated via `dvc update`.

Here are some examples for how `dvc.yaml` looks like:
```yaml
datasets:
- name: dogs
  url: dvcx://dogs
  type: dvcx
- name: example-get-started
  url: [email protected]:iterative/example-get-started.git
  type: dvc
  path: path
- name: dogs2
  url: dvcx://dogs@v2
  type: dvcx
- name: cloud-versioning-demo
  url: s3://cloud-versioning-demo
  type: url
```

```yaml
schema: '2.0'
datasets:
- name: dogs
  url: dvcx://dogs
  type: dvcx
  version: 3
  created_at: '2023-12-11T10:32:05.942708+00:00'
- name: example-get-started
  url: [email protected]:iterative/example-get-started.git
  type: dvc
  path: path
  rev_lock: df75c16ef61f0772d6e4bb27ba4617b06b4b5398
- name: cloud-versioning-demo
  url: s3://cloud-versioning-demo
  type: url

# truncated
```

The pipeline stages keep them in `dataset` section of individual deps.

```console
dvc stage add -n train -d ds://dogs python train.py
cat dvc.yaml
```

```yaml
# truncated
stages:
  train:
    cmd: python train.py
    deps:
    - ds://dogs
```

When it is reproduced, the `dvc.lock` will look something like follows:
```yaml
# truncated
stages:
  train:
    cmd: python train.py
    deps:
    - path: ds://dogs
      dataset:
        name: dogs
        url: dvcx://dogs
        type: dvcx
        version: 3
        created_at: '2023-12-11T10:32:05.942708+00:00'
```
