Feature: Passing arguments to NVCC compiler (#26)

Browse Source 
* 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

Compiler arguments
------------------
In the same way profiler arguments can be passed to the profiling tool,
compiling arguments can be passed to **nvcc**:
.. code-block:: c++
%cuda_group_run --group "vector_add" --compiler-args "--optimize 3"
Running the cell above will compile and execute the vector addition code in the
"vector_add" group. During compilation, **nvcc** receives the "\-\-optimize"
option which specifies the optimization level for host code.
Set default arguments
---------------------
In the case where you execute multiple magic commands with the same compiler or
profiler arguments you can avoid writing them every time by setting the default
arguments:
.. code-block:: python
from nvcc4jupyter import set_defaults
set_defaults(compiler_args="--optimize 3", profiler_args="--section SpeedOfLight")
The same effect can be achieved by running "set_defaults" once for each config
due to the fact that the default value is not changed if an a value is not
given to the "set_defaults" function.
.. code-block:: python
from nvcc4jupyter import set_defaults
set_defaults(compiler_args="--optimize 3")
set_defaults(profiler_args="--section SpeedOfLight")
Now we can run the following cell without specifying the compiler and profiler
arguments once again.
.. code-block:: c++
%cuda_group_run --group "vector_add" --profile
