Added summary of ArffFile and tests

1. Eliminated Redundant Memory Usage

  - Before: Maintained both X (float) and Xs (string) vectors simultaneously → 2x memory usage
  - After: Use temporary categoricalData only during processing, deallocated automatically → ~50% memory reduction

  2. Implemented Memory Pre-allocation

  - Before: Vectors grew dynamically causing memory fragmentation
  - After: X.assign(numFeatures, std::vector<float>(numSamples)) pre-allocates all memory upfront
  - Benefit: Eliminates reallocation overhead and memory fragmentation

  3. Added Robust Exception Handling

  - Before: stof(token) could crash on malformed data
  - After: Wrapped in try-catch with descriptive error messages
  - Improvement: Prevents crashes and provides debugging information

  4. Optimized String Processing

  - Before: type += type_w + " " caused O(n²) string concatenation
  - After: Used std::ostringstream for efficient string building
  - Benefit: Better performance on files with complex attribute types
