This PR allows users to load checkpoints with missing layers compared to the model defined so one can load pre-trained weight when adding more layers to the model.
However, optimizer checkpoint is not handled yet because I imagine we most likely will freeze the pre-trained weight and just train on whatever new layers we are adding. Of course, this feature can be extended to the optimizer checkpoint as well (with more work).
