Add a new toolset module for Nvidia HPC C/C++ compiler (Closes #1874).

No breaking change.

Anything else we should know?

I only tested that the new toolset can compile premake on my linux machine using gmake2 exporter.

Closes #1874

[nickclark2016]

I'll review this when I have time to sit down and read through the entire toolset. It's a wall of code, so it'll take me a while to get comfortable with it.

[abel0b]

For information, a large part of the code is copied from the gcc toolset. I tried to find an equivalent in the Nvidia compiler for each flag but it's not always possible.

[nickclark2016]

Sure, I don't expect equivalents to be there for everything. Do you mind posting a link to where you were referencing for the compiler flags just so I'm looking at the same sources as you when I review?

Should it be an external modules instead?

Should it be an external modules instead?

Definitely something worth considering.

[nickclark2016]

Just poking the discussion on whether this should be an external module or a core module.
