Provide command to show experiment only.

Currently, if user wants to look an experiment result, it have to use nnictl resume. It does some validation, and easy to fail. There should be a command like nnictl view experiment to start webui for view only.

@rabbit008 - please investigate and make a proposal for team discussion.

This would be a great feature to have! The major problem with nnictl resume for viewing previous experiments via WebUI is that it starts new trials as well if the experiment has been terminated prematurely.

Thanks @mys007 for the feedback, we are also collecting feedback for experiment comparision, would you like to share your view as well? #1529.

@squirrelsc If users use nnictl view experiment, should we let users change experiment parameters using webUI or nnictl command?

It depends. In general, when viewing an experiment, the experience data should be readonly. It means nothing is saved back to storage. But if there is any parameter impacting how an experiment showing, it could be able to changed. If there are some examples, feel free to let me know.
