Legacy CUDA support

CUDA support has been removed in the current versions. There are plans to add more universal GPU support, not reliant on the proprietary CUDA drivers. Recently there have also been improvements added that make the live preview much faster than before on CPU.

A legacy CUDA branch has been added. Importantly it is also far out of date in many regards. When using it additionally installing CuPy package is necessary to activate the GPU functionality. To disable CUDA on an installation with CUDA capabilities, use the argument --no-cuda.
