🚀 Feature request

Add support for *args arguments in CLI

Motivation

Currently I cannot instantiate *args-like arguments. For example:

In main.py

from jsonargparse import CLI

class A:

    def __init__(self, *a: int, b: int) -> None:
        self.a = a
        self.b = b


def main(a: A) -> None:
    print(a.a, a.b)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    CLI(main)

In config.yaml:

a:
  class_path: __main__.A
  init_args:
    a: [1, 2]
    b: 3

In terminal:

python -m main --config config.yaml

Gives error:

error: Parser key "a":
  Problem with given class_path '__main__.A':
    Validation failed: No action for key "a" to check its value.

Pitch

The above code should runs without errors.
