If the CUDA toolkit is not installed to its default locations
in /usr/local/cuda, the user is forced to specify --cuda-path.
This is tedious and the driver can be smarter if well-known tools
(like ptxas) can already be found in the PATH environment variable.
Add option --cuda-path-ignore-env if the user wants to ignore
set environment variables. Also use it in the tests to make sure
the driver always finds the same CUDA installation, regardless
of the user's environment.

Summary:
Previously we compiled CUDA device code to PTX assembly and embedded
that asm as text in our host binary. Now we compile to PTX assembly and
then invoke ptxas to assemble the PTX into a cubin file. We gather the
ptx and cubin files for each of our --cuda-gpu-archs and combine them
using fatbinary, and then embed that into the host binary.
Adds two new command-line flags, -Xcuda_ptxas and -Xcuda_fatbinary,
which pass args down to the external tools.
