Description

Expected Behavior

Allow an ipython profile to be specified by path or some other reasonable way in the config file, and then load the profile when we start the IPython shell

Current Behavior

User has no easy way to do simple config changes e.g. no-confirm-eixt

Possible Solution

conf.yaml -> ipython_profile key
in cli.py load the ipython profile by passing config= appropriately (not 100% sure where to do this and if we need to pre-read the file using traitlets)

Context

Old python it was easy to modify a --no-confirm-exit

Research direction

Start by reading cli.py and the conf.yaml configuration path to find where configuration is loaded and the IPython shell starts. Verify how IPython accepts a profile through its config argument. Done means a configured profile path or equivalent setting is loaded when the IPython shell starts, including options such as no-confirm-exit.
