Use Kinetics instead of Kinetics400 in references (#5787) (#5952)

* Dataset creation now supports "new" version of Kinetics dataset

* remove unnecessary warning for now

* provide kinetics option

* new reading somehow doesn't need BHWC to BCHW transform

* Addressing minor comments

* Adding kinetics deprication warning for the old Kinetics400 class

* lint error

* Update torchvision/datasets/kinetics.py
Co-authored-by: Nicolas Hug <contact@nicolas-hug.com>

* Updating README

* Remove BHWC to BCHW

* Put warning back

* formatting

+### Additional Kinetics versions
+
+Since the original release, additional versions of Kinetics dataset became available (Kinetics 600).
+Our training scripts support these versions of dataset as well by setting the `--kinetics-version` parameter to `"600"`.
+
+**Note:** training on Kinetics 600 requires a different set of hyperparameters for optimal performance. We do not provide Kinetics 600 pretrained models.
