Less datasets overall? #487

moving Ava's comment here:

I know we've gotten feedback before about how there are a lot of datasets, and they wish there were a few we could get really familiar with. Any way we could cut down on them somehow? I think this would probably take some work though.

Perhaps we can make a chart of how many datasets we used per lecture and what they are as a starting point?

Subsetting 3 (only a few slides for specific lessons are not the annual dosage dataset) annual dosage opioid dataset from OCSdata and mtcars as a classic dataframe example with rows, one fake example of a dataset with spaces in column names for one slide added the data to the website so people can practice import
Subsetting Lab 1 county pop from opioid dataset from OCSdata added data to the website to simplify getting the data and encourage data import skills

Classes 1 (and vectors for simple illustration) circ from jhur useful to use vectors for class conversion (rare to have every kind of data in one datset)
