Improve convergence system for MiniBatch algorithm

Fixes #113

Improve the convergence system for the MiniBatch algorithm in `src/mini_batch.jl` and add corresponding tests in `test/test90_minibatch.jl`.

* **Adaptive Batch Size Mechanism**
  - Implement an adaptive batch size mechanism that adjusts based on the convergence rate.
  - Modify the batch size dynamically during the iterations.

* **Early Stopping Criteria**
  - Introduce early stopping criteria by monitoring the change in cluster assignments and the stability of centroids.
  - Add a check to stop the algorithm if the labels and centroids remain unchanged over iterations.

* **Tests for New Features**
  - Add tests for the adaptive batch size mechanism to ensure it adjusts the batch size correctly based on the convergence rate.
  - Add tests for early stopping criteria to ensure the algorithm stops when the change in cluster assignments or the stability of centroids is detected.
  - Add tests for improved initialization of centroids to ensure the algorithm converges successfully.
