Vijay Janapa Reddi 89c9e0dd7e Create TinyDigits educational dataset for self-contained TinyTorch
Replaces sklearn-sourced digits_8x8.npz with TinyTorch-branded dataset.

Changes:
- Created datasets/tinydigits/ (~51KB total)
  - train.pkl: 150 samples (15 per digit class 0-9)
  - test.pkl: 47 samples (balanced across digits)
  - README.md: Full curation documentation
  - LICENSE: BSD 3-Clause with sklearn attribution
  - create_tinydigits.py: Reproducible generation script

- Updated milestones to use TinyDigits:
  - mlp_digits.py: Now loads from datasets/tinydigits/
  - cnn_digits.py: Now loads from datasets/tinydigits/

- Removed old data:
  - datasets/tiny/ (67KB sklearn duplicate)
  - milestones/03_1986_mlp/data/ (67KB old location)

Dataset Strategy:
TinyTorch now ships with only 2 curated datasets:
1. TinyDigits (51KB) - 8x8 digits for MLP/CNN milestones
2. TinyTalks (140KB) - Q&A pairs for transformer milestone

Total: 191KB shipped data (perfect for RasPi0 deployment)

Rationale:
- Self-contained: No downloads, works offline
- Citable: TinyTorch educational infrastructure for white paper
- Portable: Tiny footprint enables edge device deployment
- Fast: <5 sec training enables instant student feedback

Updated .gitignore to allow TinyTorch curated datasets while
still blocking downloaded large datasets.
