fix: make timeseries models production-ready with complete implementations

- Chronos: complete serialization (transformer layers, output projection, bias)
- Informer: complete serialization (encoder/decoder layers, output projection)
- Informer: fix embedding matrix dimensions (embeddingdim x lookbackwindow)
- DeepANT: fix convlayer to use full window with proper sliding convolution
- DeepAR: fix context update to maintain sliding window instead of losing history
- Chronos/Informer: add numerical gradient-based weight updates in training

These changes address critical architectural issues that prevented the models
from functioning correctly in production scenarios.
