Add an ArrayFire conanfile.py that pulls from the linux binary installer #2875

Conan is a C++ package manager with a large ecosystem and several projects that have dependencies on CUDA/OpenCL (e.g. OpenCV).

This Conan configuration is minimal and only pulls from the Linux binary installer. I've tested it with other downstream projects (e.g. flashlight), and it works. The installer as it stands is backend agnostic since it installs all libraries in the binary installer (except for debug libraries). One could eventually add a version that builds from source (and is thus eligible for all of the configuration options that Conan provides), but the Linux installer is already quite generic/has many of these things already.

I'll also be adding the package provided by this installer to the conan-community remote which has packages which are still experimental/being improved. We can easily push breaking changes to those at any point.

(I've added myself as author of the package config for now -- we should change that to be an appropriate author/a generic AF point of contact)

arrayfire build especially for CUDA backend for all computes takes significant time, I wonder if conan allows/handles such huge build times while building a package from source. Let's say we do provide such facility, I have question, let's say someone wants to use araryfire conan package, could they potentially build cuda backend for a specific compute on their development device ? I am not sure how much of benefit that would provide 🤔

Idea to add to conan-community sounds good to me.

Summary: Needed changes to CMake files to support a flashlight Conan package. Support adding `CONAN_PKG::[package]` where needed. Conan pulls in ArrayFire (see arrayfire/arrayfire#2875, in progress) along with OpenMPI, Cereal, and Google Test, so conditionally find/pull in those deps based on if those Conan package imported targets exist.

Summary: Adds Conan support on flashlight. This is on the heels of Conan support for ArrayFire (arrayfire/arrayfire#2875). Note that that PR doesn't need to land for this to be viable, since I'll be uploading the ArrayFire package to the `conan-community` remote one of these days I'll also add `flashlight/0.1` to the [`conan-community` remote](https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/uploading_packages/remotes.html#conan-community) eventually as well. Note that only the CUDA backend is supported right now (the AF binary installer provides non-CUDA-RT CUDA libraries) -- MKL-DNN has no Conan support Build is also Linux-based only for now. The AF binary installer used is for Linux. Reviewed By: andresy, vineelpratap Differential Revision: D21427691 fbshipit-source-id: e85f6911b3e3340db339fae5520112a1d2b2af09
