Basic Testing Experiment Configuration

[sk8forether]

Description

We need a very basic starting point for running an experiment, and the configuration file is a good place to point new users to when they are getting started. For the sake of accomplishing the MVP, this just needs to contain the basic information that gets read in to run the Launch task.

Remaining Questions

• What is the best format for these configs? Should we use YAML? INI for Cylc (no python parsing)? Something else?
• Will we need multiple configs for the same experiment if running on different platforms? Or can the platform be specified at runtime (with configurations already set up for the platforms)?

Looking Forward

After this is complete, we should consider turning this basic experiment into a good testing experiment and/or a quick-start for learning the software.
