Expose fitted attributes for Dask linear models

[nethum529]

Summary

• Expose coef_, intercept_, and n_iter_ from Dask ElasticNet and Lasso.
• Let Dask Ridge proxy coef_ and intercept_ from its fitted model.
• Carry the client output type when a fitted attribute is read from a worker.
• Add coverage for pre-fit errors, output types, and refits.

Testing

• Changed-file pre-commit checks pass.
• The new Dask tests cover ElasticNet, Lasso, and Ridge.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Distributed ElasticNet and Lasso now expose fitted properties (coefficients, intercept, and iteration count) through their public attribute access.
  • Improved handling of the active output type when retrieving model attributes in distributed estimators.

• Bug Fixes

  • Pre-fit access to fitted properties now consistently raises an AttributeError indicating the estimator is not fitted.
  • Fitted attributes (including iteration counts) correctly update after refitting for Ridge, ElasticNet, and Lasso.

• Tests

  • Expanded Dask test coverage for fitted-attribute behavior, output-type scenarios, refit correctness, and iteration-count consistency.
  • Added unit tests to ensure attribute-resolution errors are preserved with their original causes/messages.

Walkthrough

Dask linear models now expose fitted attributes through their underlying solvers. Attribute resolution preserves the configured output type, Ridge fitted attributes remain absent before fitting, and tests cover solver consistency, NumPy output, and refit updates.

Changes

Dask fitted attributes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Output-type-aware attribute lookup python/cuml/cuml/dask/common/base.py, python/cuml/tests/dask/test_dask_base.py	BaseEstimator preserves the active GlobalSettings().output_type while resolving attributes from the internal model and preserves lookup errors.
Solver-backed fitted properties python/cuml/cuml/dask/linear_model/elastic_net.py, python/cuml/cuml/dask/linear_model/lasso.py, python/cuml/cuml/dask/linear_model/ridge.py	ElasticNet and Lasso expose coef_, intercept_, and n_iter_ from their solvers; Ridge no longer initializes fitted attributes before fitting.
Fitted attribute validation python/cuml/tests/dask/test_dask_coordinate_descent.py, python/cuml/tests/dask/test_dask_ridge_regression.py	Tests validate pre-fit absence, solver consistency, output types, iteration counts, and attribute updates after refitting.
