Summary: This diff updates the documentation and tutorials with information about the new pulsar backend. For more information about the pulsar backend, see the release notes and the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.07484). For information on how to use the backend, see the point cloud rendering notebook and the examples in the folder docs/examples.

Summary:
This diff builds on top of the `pulsar integration` diff to provide a unified interface for the existing PyTorch3D point renderer and Pulsar. For more information about the pulsar backend, see the release notes and the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.07484). For information on how to use the backend, see the point cloud rendering notebook and the examples in the folder docs/examples.
The unified interfaces are completely consistent. Switching the render backend is as easy as using `renderer = PulsarPointsRenderer(rasterizer=rasterizer).to(device)` instead of `renderer = PointsRenderer(rasterizer=rasterizer, compositor=compositor)` and adding the `gamma` parameter to the forward function. All PyTorch3D camera types are supported as far as possible; keyword arguments are properly forwarded to the camera. The `PerspectiveCamera` and `OrthographicCamera` require znear and zfar as additional parameters for the forward pass.

Summary: Use a consistent case for PyTorch3D (matching the logo...): replace all occurrences of PyTorch3d with PyTorch3D across the codebase (including documentation and notebooks)

Summary:
This isn't the whole task, but it gets the version number into far fewer places.
The doc / website are separate.

Summary: The shebang line `#!<path to interpreter>` is only required for Python scripts, so remove it on source files for class or function definitions. Additionally explicitly mark as executable the actual Python scripts in the codebase.
