feat: added rnn layer and TimeSeries conversion (#615)

Closes #614  
Closes #648
Closes #656 
Closes #601 
### Summary of Changes

- LSTM Layer
- conversion layer TimeSeries
- easier usage for conversion
- cleanup and refactoring, created TimeSeriesDataset
- docs were updated, as the TimeSeries no longer exist

+    A time series dataset maps feature and time columns to a target column. Not like the TabularDataset a TimeSeries needs to contain one target and one time column, but can have empty features.
