first version of model runner and model feedback (#70)

* Implemented model.py

- Need to run within the RDAgent folder (relevant path)
- Each time copy a template & insert code & run qlib & store result back to experiment

* Create model.py

* Create conf.yaml

This is the sample conf.yaml to be copied each time.

This has gone several times of iteration and is now working for both tabular and Time-Series data.

* Create read_exp.py

This is to read the results within Qlib

* Create ReadMe.md

* Update model.py

* Create test_model.py

A testing file that separates model code generation and running&feedback section.

* move the template folder

* help xisen finish the model runner

* help xisen fix improve model feedback generation

* delete debug file

* rename readme.md
