feat(DataLoader): caching MVP, added ability to use standard scaling for exogenous data, scaling is now also done before feature selection (#105)

* fix(FeatureExtractor): apply log to transform some series to normality

* feat(DataLoader): add ability of not returning returns when they're not needed (exogenous data), applied log to certain features

* feat(FeatureExtractors): added standard scaling for exogenous data

* feat(FeatureSelection): scale data with the passed in scaler before doing feature-selection

* fix(Config): sweep config

* feat(Models): output probability, store it

* feat(Core): added caching to select_features() and load_data()

* fix(Dependencies): added diskcache

* fix(Training): error when creating results DF

* feat(Models): added xgboost, fixed tests

* refactor(Cache): moved hashing to a separate function, created wrapper functions to separate business logic and caching

* fix(Tests): new syntax

* fix(Model): XGboost can't handle -1 class, so we'll use the deprecated label_encoder fornow

* fix(Model): XGBoost config

* feat(Cache): add run_clear_cache script
