Add Expected Reciprocal Rank metric (#31891)
This change adds Expected Reciprocal Rank (ERR) as a ranking evaluation metric
as descriped in:

Chapelle, O., Metlzer, D., Zhang, Y., & Grinspan, P. (2009).
Expected reciprocal rank for graded relevance.
Proceeding of the 18th ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management.

ERR is an extension of the classical reciprocal rank to the graded relevance
case and assumes a cascade browsing model. It quantifies the usefulness of a
document at rank `i` conditioned on the degree of relevance of the items at ranks
less than `i`. ERR seems to be gain traction as an alternative to (n)DCG, so it
seems like a good metric to support. Also ERR seems to be the default optimization
metric used for training in RankLib, a widely used learning to rank library.
