Added details on how to request and load data TODO: Fill in the extra link, confirm data loading instructions

This is actually the deprecated method now. We sometimes internally use the user specific dumps to reproduce errors, but for external users, they either get the mongodump, or download csv files from their admin dashboard.

Made a change to specify this is for internal testing only! Let me know if I should be more specific about it being a deprecated method.
Should I add a footnote about working with CSV's? I've only worked with the mongodump format, but could ask around for helping writing a section on that process.

We should unify these but obviously we should keep this documentation until we do.

| After requesting data from TSDC, you should receive a "mongodump" file -- a collection of data, archived in `.tar.gz` format. Here are the broad steps you need to take in order to work with this data: |

The TSDC will not provide mongodumps. The TSDC will provide access to the data in csv files/postgres database. The mongodump is currently only available for internal use.
Shankari and I discussed this page of the documentation, and found it was out of date -- as such, we're updating it! I'm also adding some documentation on how to run the data, building off of Abby's work with the dashboard (link)
