Accessible config as dict

[casper-hansen]

Here is a PR to make it a bit easier to observe the configuration across different experiments. This is generally useful for MLOps to observe the exact configuration of your training run.

For example, this makes it easier for a user to extend the code and log the config in Weights & Biases:

wandb.init(config=job_config.to_dict())

@tianyu-l I just merged main branch into my PR to clear the CI. It looks like a green check from the CI is the last step before this can be merged.
