Extract data on the fly in packaged builders

[mariosasko]

Instead of waiting for data files to be extracted in the packaged builders, we can prepend the compression prefix and extract them as they are being read (using fsspec). This saves disk space (deleting extracted archives is not set by default) and slightly speeds up dataset generation (less disk reads)
