New Technique: Layerwise Richardson Extrapolation

[purva-thakre]

Add technique introduced in https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.04000

Link to the code: https://github.com/unitaryfund/research/tree/8c3ff3f46bb9fe91941fe073cb903a30f65b13e1/lre

This technique is different from the layerwise noise scaling technique in mitiq/zne/scaling/layer_scaling.py
