This PR implements a first version of a builtin realising independent subnet training [1] as DML script.

The implementation provides:
As hinted this version needs further runtime optimisation to enhance performance.
A current determined bottleneck is the gradient computation, which (even though executed through a parfor-loop) remains rather slow. One potential reason for this could be the sparse masking of disjoint subnets since dimensionalities of the model matrices are effectively not reduced.
The code contains some TODO's which hint at potential performance boosts.
Note: A dense masking which reduces subnet matrices size is currently in progress and could solve the remaining issues.
