Add examples using the Diviner, Prophet, and pmdarima libraries

About

GH-13 adds an example program using the Merlion library. Thanks, @andnig.

On this matter, it may also be interesting to present a variant using Diviner, see also Diviner Documentation.
Currently, Diviner supports the Prophet and pmdarima open source libraries for forecasting at scale.

I think this can be closed, considered to be superseded by GH-55. Thanks for contributing this, @andnig!

NB: Is PyCaret also wrapping those libraries mentioned above?

[andnig]

@amotl pycaret provides support for the prophet forecaster and pmdarima as optional arima forecasting backend. I'm not familiar with how diviner handles things - but maybe it's worth a post if you consider the wider databricks ecosystem relevant for Crate.

It looks like those are the corresponding canonical notebooks for Diviner+GroupedProphet/GroupedPmdarima. If those can easily be absorbed by PyCaret, i.e. if it provides the same features, there would be no need to specialize too much.
