With this PR, it is now possible to overwrite individual config entries that are arbitrarily nested. Does work for dicts, but not for lists.
This also adds the parameter
config_overrideto_from_pretrainedand_from_configto provide fine-grained control over this behavior. It accepts aboolvalue or adictmapping from config keys toboolordictvalues again, this can be recursive. IfTrue, the value for the respective key (or the whole config, on the top level) is taken from the keyword arguments. IfFalse, the keyword argument is discarded and the respective config value is taken. If it isNoneor if noboolvalue is set for the respective key, the keyword arguments are merged recursively into the config.TODO:
