[ENH] ClaSP: Adds parallelization for distance computations and numbarize function calls

[patrickzib]

This is mostly a performance enhancement of the ClaSP implementation by:

• Parallelizing ClaSP distance computations
• Numbarizing methods.
• exposing n_jobs to ClaSP-Constructor class
• convert ClaSPTransformer to BaseSeriesTransformer

Thank you for contributing to aeon

I would have added the following labels to this PR based on the changes made: [ $\color{#41A8F6}{\textsf{transformations}}$ ], however some package labels are already present.

The Checks tab will show the status of our automated tests. You can click on individual test runs in the tab or "Details" in the panel below to see more information if there is a failure.

If our pre-commit code quality check fails, any trivial fixes will automatically be pushed to your PR unless it is a draft.

Don't hesitate to ask questions on the aeon Slack channel if you have any.

PR CI actions

These checkboxes will add labels to enable/disable CI functionality for this PR. This may not take effect immediately, and a new commit may be required to run the new configuration.

• Run pre-commit checks for all files
• Run all pytest tests and configurations
• Run all notebook example tests
• Run numba-disabled codecov tests
• Stop automatic pre-commit fixes (always disabled for drafts)

maybe convert to a BaseSeriesTransformer at the same time (#1618)?

I was thinking about removing the Transformer all together and merge it into ClaSP Segmenter? :) Or should I convert it?

I meant merge the Transformer with the Segmenter, and remove the Transformer

[MatthewMiddlehurst]

Can either convert it or merge into the segmenter. Up to you really, if you think the transform has potential for usage elsewhere may be nice to keep.

I think remove the transformer and just merge it into a clasp segmenter is best way forward

Thank you @MatthewMiddlehurst and @TonyBagnall

I set n_jobs to 1 and have converted the BaseTransformer to a BaseSeriesTransformer for now.

Felt like merging everything into one module is also not the best option for now. Might re-consider this in the future :)
