Hydra example Launcher plugin

This plugin provides an example for how to write a custom Launcher for Hydra. The configuration for this launcher is in packages with the plugin:

hydra_plugins/example_launcher_plugiun/conf/hydra/launcher/example.yaml:

hydra:
  launcher:
    cls: hydra_plugins.example_launcher_plugin.ExampleLauncher
    params:
      foo: 10
      bar: abcde

The example application is overriding the Launcher used by Hydra. When the launcher is initialized, its "using" the foo and bar parameters.

Output of the example application:

$ python example/my_app.py --multirun db=postgresql,mysql
