Updated nvvm codegen to 1.72.0 nightly.

[ZelboK]

As title says I updated and built the crate. Problem is that I'm both a beginner in Rust and LLVM. This is my first rust project.

Things compile for now, I prioritized just getting things to compile so some methods implemented are left in a todo state. I'll eventually make a PR when I have time but for now if anyone is interested you can check my profile to see the repo.

Currently running into this:

  warning: `cuda_std_macros` (lib) generated 2 warnings (run `cargo fix --lib -p cuda_std_macros` to apply 2 suggestions)

As per @RDambrosio016 suggested, I plan on building LLVM 7 from source and enabling debug assertions. If anyone is interested in helping please lmk.

Also I pulled in @apriori 's PR and worked on top of that.

@ZelboK do you have a WIP for this somewhere? I know it has been a long time, but the project is active again (#130) and I'd love to look at what you have done even if you don't intend to finish.

Oh hey, yeah unfortunately no time to work on this. I have these commits on main in my fork(was a bit lazy)

ZelboK/RustCUDA@a2d5bc6
ZelboK/RustCUDA@0eaa3e2
ZelboK/RustCUDA@6176cf2
ZelboK/RustCUDA@0ca3e7a
(you can keep clicking parent commit to see them all if you need on github for w/e reason)

but I remember having a few commits that weren't pushed upwards so it's a bit behind. Albeit from the comment it seems like it'll build just keep in mind some of the todos will obviously need to be changed. I would just pull my forks main and git diff the differences.
