Feature: Passing arguments to NVCC compiler (#26)

* Add option to give nvcc extra arguments

* Add test for nvcc options that changes c++ dialect from c++17 to c++14

* Add make and the english language pack to devcontainer to be able to build the documentation

* Update documentation config to automatically import the current version of the package

* Document new --compiler-args argument

* Improve tests coverage by testing for bad arguments and the error output during a failed compilation

* Add IPython to docs requirements to allow the __version__ import for readthedocs env

* Change devcontainer base image to have the latest CUDA toolkit

* Mock the nsight compute tool with a bash script

* Add test to compile with opencv

* Add new page to documentation that contains a new notebook that explains compiling with external libraries

* Add autodocstring vscode extension to devcontainer

* Add function that modifies the default profiler/compiler arguments to allow reusing them in multiple magic command calls

* Update pylint exceptions

* Update contributing instructions

* Change version from 1.0.3 to 1.1.0 due to adding features in a backward-compatible manner

* Install latest CUDA toolkit on the test runner to pass the OpenCV compilation test

* Install opencv in test runner and update code coverage install

* Add CUDA bin to PATH in test and coverage runners

* Add cuda bin to path variable in .bashrc

* Update way to set environment variable PATH in github action

* Change devcontainer base image back to ubuntu:22.04 to match the environment from the test runner
