[libc] Add a loader utility for NVPTX architectures for testing

This patch adds a loader utility targeting the CUDA driver API to launch
NVPTX images called `nvptx_loader`. This takes a GPU image on the
command line and launches the `_start` kernel with the appropriate
arguments. The `_start` kernel is provided by the already implemented
`nvptx/start.cpp`. So, an application with a `main` function can be
compiled and run as follows.

```
clang++ --target=nvptx64-nvidia-cuda main.cpp crt1.o -march=sm_70 -o image
./nvptx_loader image args to kernel
```

This implementation is not tested and does not yet support RPC. This
requires further development to work around NVIDIA specific limitations
in atomics and linking.
