🪟 Add sliding window iteration mode for datasets#21
Merged
Conversation
* Introduce iteration_type parameter ("chunking"/"sliding") to training config and data sources
* Implement SlidingWindowDataset class for overlapping token windows (sliding by 1 position)
* Update HFDataSource to support both chunking (non-overlapping) and sliding (overlapping) modes
* Add comprehensive test coverage for sliding window functionality and edge cases
* Sliding mode unavailable for streaming datasets due to sequential processing constraints
* Bump version to 0.5.0 to reflect new feature addition

What does this PR do?
This PR introduces a sliding window iteration mode for dataset processing, providing an alternative to the existing chunking approach. Sliding windows create overlapping sequences that move by one token at a time, significantly increasing the number of training samples and improving context coverage.
