feat: enhance training and experiment tracking functionality

- Updated `Activities` class to improve garbage collection handling.
- Enhanced error messaging in `ExperimentTracking` for better clarity on update failures.
- Refactored `Training` class to streamline exception handling and improve type hints.
- Introduced new methods in `TrainModelParams` for better handling of experiment run IDs and model metadata.
- Added functionality to extract model equations in `DataManagerRepository` for linear regression models.
