* fix(FeatureExtractors): syntax
* fix(FeatureExtractors): mistake with expanding window
* fix(FeatureExtractor): apply log to transform some series to normality

* 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

* fix(Config): set n_features_to_select to the optimal 30
* feat(Selection): added prototype feature selection python script
* feat(Utils): added some helpers for the future from Advances in Financial ML book
* feat(Selection): added RFECV
* feat(Selection): added configurable feature selection step into pipeline
* feat(Config): added level_1 & level_2 default config, PCA before feature selection process starts
* feat(Selection): added backup feature selector models if current one can't output feature importance, removed unnecessary array for level-2 models
