KernelAbstractions backend [$200]

[Krastanov]

This library has some minor support for GPU acceleration already, mostly focusing on mctrajectory and apply!.

This bounty is for translating that existing support to KernelAbstractions (while keeping the CUDA backend) and updating the test suite so that both the CUDA and KernelAbstractions can be tested. This bounty includes the requirement to make some benchmark plots to see whether the KernelAbstractions backend is much slower than the CUDA backend.

A lot of follow-up work can happen building upon this bounty, adding many other capabilities.

Required skills: Understanding of the stabilizer formalism. Knowledge of GPU programming
