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:
Refactor cameras
* CamerasBase was enhanced with `transform_points_screen` that transforms projected points from NDC to screen space
* OpenGLPerspective, OpenGLOrthographic -> FoVPerspective, FoVOrthographic
* SfMPerspective, SfMOrthographic -> Perspective, Orthographic
* PerspectiveCamera can optionally be constructred with screen space parameters
* Note on Cameras and coordinate systems was added

Summary:
Added support for barycentric clipping in the C++/CUDA rasterization kernels which can be switched on/off via a rasterization setting.

Added tests and a benchmark to compare with the current implementation in PyTorch - for some cases of large image size/faces per pixel the cuda version is 10x faster.
