[ML] Stabilise Bayesian optimisation debug test
The testMaximumExpectedImprovement test was failing intermittently on Windows and macOS debug builds. With only 10 trials and a 0.7 win rate threshold, variance was too high for reliable results given the reduced number of BO iterations in debug mode. Use 20 trials with 10 iterations each (similar total runtime) and lower the threshold to 0.5. This gives a more stable win rate estimate while still verifying that BO outperforms random search.
