This PR adds three methods to conform better to APIs familiar to Python users and to ease future work on
StridedMemoryViewadding support for constructing them from other objects besides CAI and dlpack objects.
Three methods are added:
from_dlpack(obj, stream_ptr)same functionality as beforefrom_cuda_array_interface(obj, stream_ptr)same functionality as beforefrom_any_interface(obj, stream_ptr)same behavior as the previous constructorThe constructor changes to a simple field initialization, in an effort to make
it easier to add a
from_buffer(naming TBD) method that allows constructionfrom an owned raw buffer (without shape and stride information), which may
require passing in additional information such as shape and stride to the
constructor.
