Geopandas is removing the dataset module

[FeLoe]

For examples 2.5 and 2.8 the geopandas dataset is used to get a world map to plot on. It already gives a warning that in the next version there will be no dataset module in geopandas anymore, meaning that the code will stop working. There is a work-around but it is kind of ugly and involves installing additional packages, so maybe there is a nicer way to solve it:

import fsspec

url = "https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/" \
      "download/110m/cultural/ne_110m_admin_0_countries.zip"
    
with fsspec.open(f"simplecache::{url}") as file:
    world = gpd.read_file(file)

Depending on the system one is working on, these packages need to be installed to make it run:

!pip install requests
!pip install aiohttp
!pip install fsspec

As said, this is for now just a deprecation warning and the solution is pretty ugly, so I did not create any pull request yet -- but it probably will come up soon-ish once people start installing the version of geopandas that does not support the dataset module anymore.
