Description
I was looking into the linfa-ensemble crate and noticed that it currently does not include a boosting mechanism. The current ensemble implementation appears to be quite generalised, so we could either extend EnsembleLearner to support boosting methods or (preferably) create a new struct dedicated to boosting, while keeping EnsembleLearner as the dedicated bagging struct (and rename EnsembleLearner -> Bagging).
I would like your thoughts on this - I’d be happy to work on this and write an initial implementation.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linfa-ensemble crate and its current EnsembleLearner implementation. Decide whether boosting belongs in a new struct or alongside the existing learner, and clarify whether the existing type should be renamed to Bagging. Done requires an agreed API and an initial boosting implementation with appropriate coverage.
