Allow noncontinous time ranges in datasets for training and validation

[HCookie]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently training, validation and test datasets are continuous time ranges. While this makes sense, it may be interesting to explore other ways of organising the time slices.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a way to provide ranges of time to the dataloader, allowing the following config.

training:
  dataset: ${dataloader.dataset}
  ranges: 
    - [1970, 1980]
    - [1990, 2020]
  frequency: ${data.frequency}
  drop:  []


validation:
  dataset: ${dataloader.dataset}
  ranges: 
    - [1981, 1989]
    - [2021, 2021]
  frequency: ${data.frequency}
  drop:  []
