More-threadsafe construction of metric functions.
Before, if multiple threads were accessing metric functions while they were uninitialized, there was a race condition, leading to instantiation multiple different times, possibly causing different metric functions to be stored inside e.g. score_metric_fns and predict_metric_fns that came from different instantiations.
Now, all of these are bottlenecked through a single cached_property, which is a cleaner design regardless of concurrency concerns.
functools.cached_property is not threadsafe[1], but this way, it shouldn't matter to us.
