5385-enhance-mlflow-handler (#5388)

Signed-off-by: binliu <[email protected]>

Fixes #5385  .

### Description

This PR is about to enhance the mlflow handler in monai to track more
details in the experiment. Here are a few enhancements
that needs to be added through this PR.

- API for users to add experiment/run name in MLFlow
- API for users to log customized params for each run
- Methods to log result images
- Methods to log optimizer params
- (optional) additional metric_names as a user argument to override the
default engine.state.metrics to instruct MLFlow about metrics to log

After adding these enhancements, some tests listed below should be
excuted.
- Make sure this handler works in multi-gpu environment
- Make sure this handler works in all existed bundles


### Types of changes
<!--- Put an `x` in all the boxes that apply, and remove the not
applicable items -->
- [x] Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break
existing functionality).
- [x] New tests added to cover the changes.
- [x] Integration tests passed locally by running `./runtests.sh -f -u
--net --coverage`.
- [x] Quick tests passed locally by running `./runtests.sh --quick
--unittests --disttests`.
- [x] In-line docstrings updated.
- [x] Documentation updated, tested `make html` command in the `docs/`
folder.
- [x] API for users to add experiment/run name in MLFlow
- [x] API for users to log customized params for each run
- [x] Methods to log result images
- [x] Methods to log optimizer params
- [x] Make sure this handler works in multi-gpu environment
- [ ] Make sure this handler works in all existed bundles
