Release 0.4.0

Description

This release reflects the state/implementation of CPPuddle I described in my dissertation (see Chapter 5 within).

The release contains several updates, mostly regarding the interface and the documentation. It also includes some convenience methods for using CPPuddle's kernel fusion features:

• CPPuddle is now split into three modules: executor_recycling (containing the executor pools), memory_recycling (containing the recycling allocators and related functionality) and kernel_aggregation (containing the kernel fusion functionality). Each module has its own namespace. Methods and classes are now hidden away in the respective detail namespace unless explicitly intended to be user-facing. The file structure was also adapted accordingly.
• The old interface (from v0.3.1 and older) still works for now but causes deprecation warnings. Hence, this CPPuddle release stays fully compatible with the previous releases, not requiring (but encouraging) the switch to the new interface and include files yet.
• CPPuddle now comes with doxygen documentation, which is automatically build on each push to the master branch (see https://sc-sgs.github.io/CPPuddle/ ).
• CPPuddle now contains additional convenience methods for using the kernel fusion features, particularly with Kokkos. Some of those were previous used in Octo-Tiger, but I now generalized them to be usable with other HPX applications (with CPPuddle).
• CPPuddle now includes a few examples, showcasing the kernel fusion and buffer recycling.
• Added several small bugfixes.
