New navigation submenu for 'Model experiments' under 'Package registries'

Proposal

(note that this has already been merged in !111595 (merged), which was then reverted in !111958 (merged))

Addition:

'Model experiments' submenu under 'Package Registries', navigating to incubating feature 'Model experiments'

Rationality: There's no navigation for the Model experiments. Ideally that would be under a "ML & AI" or "MLOps" menu, but it is not worth to add a menu just for this incubation feature. It does relate to packages, as it is essentially a ML metadata registry for model artifacts.

Model experiments tracking is being developed by Incubation Engineering - MLOps, and it is currently behind a feature flag. The current version is to be released to a subset of customers on a closed beta.
