The Boltzmann exploration policy is intended for discrete action spaces. It assumes that each of the possible
actions has some value assigned to it (such as the Q value), and uses a softmax function to convert these values
into a distribution over the actions. It then samples the action for playing out of the calculated distribution.
An additional temperature schedule can be given by the user, and will control the steepness of the softmax function.
