Fix #1180

Added an API to the one-hot-encoder for accessing the list of categories associated with a given feature.

Also, generalized the BaseMeta abstraction to support subclasses overriding the list of methods to be validated.

Will retarget against main once #1179 is merged

I generalized BaseMeta so that we can add to the list of methods to check, for specific subclasses. Because in this case for one-hot encoder, if a user calls categories before fit, we want an error to get thrown.

It would be so cool if we found a way to roll this all up in a decorator... but I'm not sure how at the moment.

We now save _cols_to_encode, so that in categories we can index into the sklearn encoder's category list correctly.

property_orig = dct[attribute]
dct[attribute] = property(cls.check_for_fit(property_orig.__get__),
property_orig.__set__,
