huggingface_hub v1.32 Adds Shared Download Cache Across Repositories

Hugging Face's huggingfacehub v1.32.0 introduces content-addressed deduplication in local caches via Xet, so identical files shared across repositories are stored only once—e.g., five repos sharing a 20GB weight file take up just 20GB on disk.
