[FEATURE]: Experiment Config Override Support & Custom Code Registry about disent HOT 3 CLOSED

Before this can happen. Research code needs to be fully pulled out from dissent into its own separate repo. This can be used as a test base for these features.

from disent.

Features implemented in: 4e2fe38

• Split out research code

• Naive plugin functionality with experiment.run, append to the config list experiment.plugins with python import paths to a function that registers values with the library. For example: experiment.plugins="['your_module. register_to_disent']"

• Override the main experiment search path by specifying the environment variable DISENT_CONFIG_ROOTS=.../path/to/your/configs. This hydra config directory will be added to the hydra search path and take precedence over the configs provided by disent in the experiment/configs directory. You can easily copy, paste and modify files, or even add new ones for when running experiments.

• Using the naive experiment plugin functionality above, you can register components with disent using the disent registry. For example if you write a new framework, you can add your own configs above, but you can also add an entry in the registry using:

import disent.registry as R
def register_to_disent():
    R.FRAMEWORKS.setm['x__adaave_tvae'] = R.LazyImport('research.code.frameworks.vae._supervised__adaave_tvae.AdaAveTripletVae')

Docs need to be updated #7
