Currently, to use the same dataset CSV across multiple posts, you must upload it to each post. The data gets saved in the post meta of each post separately, and corrections to one dataset would not be reflected in other posts where that same CSV had been uploaded.
In a report context, it may be useful to be able to upload one dataset and then provide different insights based on the data in a variety of charts across multiple pages. To maximize efficiency of data storage and data editing, and to improve the alignment between how datasets actually work and how our initial users assumed they would work, we should provide the ability to upload a dataset at the site level. That dataset should then be selectable within the vega block in the editor.
Assumption: editing the dataset would open the dataset in a different page, to emphasize that the data being changed has cross-post impact.
