[AZ-180] Refactor inference and engine factory for improved model handling

- Updated the autopilot state to reflect the current task status as in progress.
- Refactored the inference module to streamline model downloading and conversion processes, replacing the download_model method with a more efficient load_source method.
- Introduced asynchronous model building in the inference module to enhance performance during model conversion.
- Enhanced the engine factory to include a new method for building and caching models, improving error handling and logging during the upload process.
- Added calibration cache handling in the Jetson TensorRT engine for better resource management.
