Dataset catalog — QuantEcon/data-lectures

The dataset registry, auto-generated from the sidecar manifests (lectures/*.yml). Do not edit by hand — run python scripts/build_catalog.py. A dataset appears here once it has a manifest, which may be before its consuming lectures are repointed — an empty Used by column means the file is here and documented but no lecture reads it from this repo yet. Files still to migrate are tracked in PLAN.md.
