SIENTIAPDE-1241: Refactor: Remove redundant logging and fix duplicate logs

This commit removes redundant logging statements from training and experiment tracking activities, preventing duplicate log entries. It also introduces a logger helper to disable log propagation, further addressing the duplicate logs issue. Additionally, the Makefile, run_coverage.sh, setup_port_forwards.sh, and simulator/Dockerfile files were removed as they are no longer needed.
