Terminology: find more specific name for configs #8

Currently we call this a config

- inference_engine: bayesbench_stan_advi
  posterior_name: ["8_schools|centered", "8_schools|noncentered"]

I see config to mean essentially settings for the program. To use the unix command ls as an example, config for it could be something like

all_files: true
color: always
human_readable: true

While our thing is more about the input data, which for ls could be like posteriordb/python, bayesbenchr/R etc.

In any case I think it would be good to have a specific name. My suggestion is inference task, I'm open to other suggestions too.
