T354: CUDA

Summary

The inclusion of cuda fixes T354.
This packages the recently released CUDA version 9.2, which includes
support for glibc 2.26 and gcc 7.

This is my first solus package, so I may have made some novice mistakes,
particularly with dependencies and such.
I am also not quite sure what the implications of having a proprietary
license/EULA mean for packaging, though I would think that it would be
much the same as the graphics drivers themselves.

Test Plan

I have installed and compiled/run cuda programs, including both samples and my own code.

Not sure if there are objections to using /opt.
I noticed that No other Solus packages use /opt, but that is the standard install location for CUDA, so I went with it.

Solus does indeed not uses /opt
For license, if there is only one item, we don't use a list. Prefer license : EULA
component should rather be something like programming.tools
If build step is empty, it should be omitted
blank line at the end of the package can be nuked
The cuda license does not allow distribution. Unless we get a formal authorization from NVIDIA, this cannot be added in the repository.
