Summary:
This diff integrates the pulsar renderer source code into PyTorch3D as an alternative backend for the PyTorch3D point renderer. This diff is the first of a series of three diffs to complete that migration and focuses on the packaging and integration of the source code.
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`.
Tasks addressed in the following diffs:
* Add the PyTorch3D interface,
* Add notebook examples and documentation (or adapt the existing ones to feature both interfaces).

Summary:
Efficient PnP algorithm to fit 2D to 3D correspondences under perspective assumption.
Benchmarked both variants of nullspace and pick one; SVD takes 7 times longer in the 100K points case.
