Restructure: nanoGPT at root, custom code in src/
- Move model.py, train.py, configurator.py to root for nanoGPT compatibility - data/ and config/ directories at root with Shakespeare dataset prep scripts - src/jlens.py updated to import model from project root - Cleaned up stale src/config/ and duplicate src/ files - Fixed .gitignore: exclude out-shakespeare-char/ instead of raw data dirs

+Poor Man's Configurator. Probably a terrible idea. Example usage:
+$ python train.py config/override_file.py --batch_size=32
+this will first run config/override_file.py, then override batch_size to 32
+
+The code in this file will be run as follows from e.g. train.py:
+>>> exec(open('configurator.py').read())
+
+So it's not a Python module, it's just shuttling this code away from train.py
+The code in this script then overrides the globals()
+
+I know people are not going to love this, I just really dislike configuration
+complexity and having to prepend config. to every single variable. If someone
+comes up with a better simple Python solution I am all ears.
