Flytekit remote updates for notebooks and versions

[kumare3]

Problems:

1. Version had to be provided when registering certain entities from the notebook
2. Execute worked, but register did not work in the same way
3. In cases when same entity is registered in non interactive mode, remote entity was auto selected to be latest registered if version field was empty. This is not explicitly called latest as a special version
4. Makes version handling uniform across all entities

Example cases, now works

Summary by Bito

This PR implements standardized version handling in Flytekit's remote operations, introducing 'latest' as the default version option. The changes include a new _resolve_version method for consistent version resolution and improved registration process across interactive and non-interactive modes. The update enhances error messaging and version handling documentation.

Unit tests added: False

Estimated effort to review (1-5, lower is better): 2

Consider splitting version resolution logic

Consider extracting the version resolution logic into a separate method for better code organization. The _resolve_version method currently handles both version resolution and pickled entity management, which could be split for better maintainability.
