Expected SARSA update rule

In this exercise, you'll implement the Expected SARSA update rule, a temporal difference model-free RL algorithm. Expected SARSA estimates the expected value of the current policy by averaging over all possible actions, providing a more stable update target compared to SARSA. The formulas used in Expected SARSA can be found below.
