Add unit tests for walk_forward_splits

Created tests/test_model_training.py and added unit tests for the walk_forward_splits function in models/model_training.py. Tests cover basic chronological splitting logic, varying number of splits, dataset sizes that don't divide perfectly, and end bounds capping. Verified that the tests accurately catch regressions.
