Closes part of #14041.

Adds mne.datasets.lite_data, a small curated archive holding only the files the browser documentation reads, taken from sample, kiloword, erp_core, mtrf and eegbci (same files, same checksums). It extracts to MNE-lite-data/ with each file under its original dataset folder, so paths match the full datasets.

Those ship as separate multi-GB archives, so without this the docs build downloads several gigabytes to serve a handful of files.

The approach was agreed in #14041, where @teonbrooks signed off on the fetcher and @larsoner kindly hosted the archive on OSF.

Nothing under mne/ uses it yet; the consumer is the JupyterLite docs build in #13925. Keeping it separate lets it land on its own.

Follows the usual dataset layout and adds a metadata-only test that needs no network.
