Add config.cascade

This commit adds support for using the `cascade` keyword in your configuration file(s), e.g. `config.toml`.

Note that

* Every feature of `cascade` is available, e.g. `_target` to target specific page sets.
* Pages, e.g. the home page, can overwrite the cascade defined in config.

Fixes #8741
