Refactors and improves SymmetricICP class

This commit refactors the SymmetricICP class for improved
readability and maintainability. It also fixes a potential issue
where the kernel_ member was not properly initialized.

Changes include:
- Ensures proper initialization of the robust kernel.
- Improves error logging for clarity.
- Modifies the order of methods in the header file for better organization.
