Describe the task. It can be a feature, documentation, etc.

Currently, the default_config.yml is always loaded. This is an issue for example when writing integration tests.

The goal of this task is to add the functionality to train/infer/evaluate a model from a different default config.

Constraints:

• it must respect the current --config and --options semantics of updating the config
• only one default config can be specificied
• if no option provided, it should default to the usual default_config.yaml

Suggestion: have an optional flag --base-config that specifies the base configuration.
