Update model-dimensions.md
What this PR does
This PR replaces outdated references to the Nexis dataset in model-dimensions.md
with a new example dataset (example_data.csv), since Nexis data is no longer publicly available.
Fixes https://github.com/TerriaJS/terriajs/issues/7655
Why this change
- Nexis dataset is no longer accessible to the public.
- The updated example (
example_data.csv) keeps the documentation functional and self-contained. - No code or behavior changes — documentation only.

Hi! This PR replaces the outdated Nexis dataset reference with a generic example dataset
(example_data.csv) as Nexis data is no longer public.
Documentation only, no code changes.
Thanks for reviewing!
@Delanceyyy Thank you for your effort! Clarifying how model dimensions work is much appreciated.

If you open the "example link", you will see the map but no data, which is expected because the example_data.csv file does not exist.
It looks like we can do better by using a real CSV file, let's say wwwroot/test/2011Census_AUST_STE.csv, so that the example link on the documentation page works and matches the screenshot.
Additionally, this example can be added to the demo catalogue wwwroot/init/simple.json with some helpful description.
