[ENH] Replace asserts with proper if else Exception handling

[Omswastik-11]

Fixes #1581

[Omswastik-11]

Hi @fkiraly !! I would like to know you suggestion on this .

In openml\runs\run.py the _generate_arff_dict function is causing the above issue . so I created a new function _get_arff_attributes_for_task to reduce complexity is it ok ? or should I think of a alternate solution ?

Yes, looks reasonable for me for a first go, to isolate the if/else in a function.

More generally, from an architecture standpoint however, whenever I see a long list of if/elses on the argument class type, I think it is too high coupling and it should be either a method of the (task/argument) class or a visitor pattern.

Why: imagine you want to add a new task. Now you have to add another elif in all of these functions. This is absolutely not extensible.

This should be refactored - I would say, in another PR, after opening an issue with a plan - so the task itself, or a visitor, manages whatever is in the if/else.
