Description

From https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold/pull/3732#issuecomment-595403953

We should support kubectl-style nested config values for setting the global config, e.g.

kubectl config set-cluster e2e --server=https://1.2.3.4 and kubectl config set clusters.e2e.server https://1.2.3.4

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current implementation of `skaffold config set` and understand how global config values are stored and retrieved. Then implement parsing of nested keys (e.g., `clusters.e2e.server`) to set values hierarchically.
