Summary:
This PR paves the way for nightly builds.
+ Get rid of cmake 3.17 manual install as cmake 3.18 is now available
in conda.
+ Update docker files for conda packages.
+ Specify CUDA architectures via CMake's `CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES`.

Changelog:
- changed license: BSD+Patents -> MIT
- propagates exceptions raised in sub-indexes of IndexShards and IndexReplicas
- support for searching several inverted lists in parallel (parallel_mode != 0)
- better support for PQ codes where nbit != 8 or 16
- IVFSpectralHash implementation: spectral hash codes inside an IVF
- 6-bit per component scalar quantizer (4 and 8 bit were already supported)
- combinations of inverted lists: HStackInvertedLists and VStackInvertedLists
- configurable number of threads for OnDiskInvertedLists prefetching (including 0=no prefetch)
- more test and demo code compatible with Python 3 (print with parentheses)
- refactored benchmark code: data loading is now in a single file
+ Add conda packages metadata (now building Faiss using conda's toolchain);
+ add Dockerfile for building conda packages (for all CUDA versions);
+ add working Dockerfile building faiss on Centos7;
+ simplify GPU build;
+ avoid falling back to CPU-only version (python);
+ simplify TravisCI config;
+ update INSTALL.md;
+ add configure flag for specifying target architectures (--with-cuda-arch);
+ fix Makefile for gpu tests;
+ fix various Makefile issues;
+ remove stale file (gpu/utils/DeviceUtils.cpp).
