Research direction

Start by tracing where CmdStanPy parses CSV comments and review CmdStan PR #1204 to understand the save_cmdstan_config JSON output. Done means the JSON arguments are used instead of most CSV-comment parsing, with only any needed optional validation retained.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Summary:

Added in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstan/pull/1204, save_cmdstan_config outputs the arguments provided to cmdstan as a JSON file. This should remove most of the need to parse the CSV comments, besides perhaps for optional validation
