Summary

Separate the default algorithm configuration into 2, one with empty log odds for production and another with the LAC values for testing.

Details / Tasks

• Create a second algorithm config named testing in the new assets/testing_algorithms.json file. This new config, will look exactly like what dibbs-default is today.
• Update the dibbs-default algorithm, to have all the log odds values set to 0.0. It will work out of the box, but won't yield meaningful results (all linkage results will return certainly-not).
• Update the default_algorithm function in conftest.py to return the testing algorithm.
• Add an env variable for INITIAL_ALGORITHMS=assets/testing_algorithms.json to the api service in compose.yml (necessary so the performance testing suite has log odds values to use)
• Using 0.0 in all the log odds values will cause some issues. Algorithm schema validation will fail and there will be some divide by 0 issues in blocking / evaluation. These should be addressed.

Dependencies

We should hold off on merging these changes until tuning is ready for use.
