Remove `task` arg in `load_dataset` in image-classification example (#28408)

* Remove `task` arg in `load_dataset` in image-classification example

* Manage case where "train" is not in dataset

* Add new args to manage image and label column names

* Similar to audio-classification example

* Fix README

* Update tests
