Now multiple checkpoints will be saved after using -stopk option in train_model.py

Patch description

In this PR, the train_model.py script has the option to keep and store multiple checkpoints based on validation metrics. Some checkpoints that have best validation metrics during training will be kept in the directory specified by --model-file. Resolves #4970

Hi Kurt, Sorry for the late reply. I was very busy lately and I forgot to check my GitHub notifications recently. I can design tests as you mentioned in 2 weeks if there is no one interested.
