gated attribute of DatasetInfo is returned as string instead of bool

[ademait]

Describe the bug

Hi, this is something similar to Issue #1830 . Gated is a boolean attribute, as it is reported in the docs. However, I found some repos with 'manual' or 'auto' values. An example is dataset "libeanim/LAION-100B-Test":

{'id': 'libeanim/LAION-100B-Test',
 'author': 'libeanim',
 'sha': '4db63f1feae8028fdac3d38f5d3796a68f364166',
 'last_modified': datetime.datetime(2023, 11, 20, 8, 13, 35, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
 'private': False,
 'gated': 'manual',
 'disabled': False,
 'downloads': 0,
 'likes': 0,
 'paperswithcode_id': None,
 'tags': ['region:us'],
 'card_data': None,
 'siblings': None,
 'lastModified': datetime.datetime(2023, 11, 20, 8, 13, 35, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
 'cardData': None,
 '_id': '650ef91757343388e577173e',
 'createdAt': '2023-09-23T14:41:27.000Z',
 'key': ''}

What does these values mean?

Looks like another corner case I was not aware of. Similarly to #1830, would you mind opening a PR to fix the docstrings + type annotation? 🙏 The data type should be Optional[Literal["auto", "manual", False]] instead of Optional[bool]. Applies to both ModelInfo and DatasetInfo.

[ademait]

Okay! I'll submit the PR. But, do you know what "auto" and "manual" values mean? Just out of curiosity. As far as I know, gated repos are just repositories that demand users their contact info in order to access it 🤔 .

See https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models-gated#manual-approval

You can accept all the users automatically (auto) or review them manually (manual)

Oh, I understand. Thank you @severo ! I already look that up, but I got a bit confused when sometimes is returned a boolean and other times a string.

(edit) Sorry, I see that the boolean can only be False.
