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:
Support variable size pointclouds in the renderer API to allow compatibility with Pulsar rasterizer.

If radius is provided as a float, it is converted to a tensor of shape (P). Otherwise radius is expected to be an (N, P_padded) dimensional tensor where P_padded is the max number of points in the batch (following the convention from pulsar: https://our.intern.facebook.com/intern/diffusion/FBS/browse/master/fbcode/frl/gemini/pulsar/pulsar/renderer.py?commit=ee0342850210e5df441e14fd97162675c70d147c&lines=50)

Summary:
Fixes the default setting of `max_points_per_bin` in `rasterize_points.py`. For large batches with large size pointclouds this was a causing the rasterizer to be very slow.

Expanded the pointcloud rendering benchmarks to include larger size pointclouds and fixed cuda synchronization issue in benchmark.
