No such file or directory checkpoint_map.json when restoring model from model selection
The title says pretty much everything.

Creating a restorer (in particular a ClassifierRestorer but it is not important) passing as checkpoint directory, the directory where the checkpoint of the best model has been saved causes an error.

two options:

1. We have to create the same file also when doing model selection
2. We have to make it possible to restore the model from the checkpoint even if the file is not present

I like the first one
