Summary:
This is a design proposal that demonstrates an approach to enabling optional support for [RAFT](https://github.com/rapidsai/raft) versions of IVF PQ and IVF Flat (and brute force w/ fused k-selection when k <= 64). There are still a few open issues and design discussions needed for the new RAFT index types to support the full range of features of that FAISS' current gpu index types.
Checklist for the integration todos:
- [x] Rebase on current `main` branch
- [X] The raft handle has been plugged directly into the StandardGpuResources
- [X] `FlatIndex` passing Googletests
- [x] Use `CodePacker` to support `copyFrom()` and `copyTo()`
- [X] `IVF-flat passing Googletests
- [ ] Raise appropriate exceptions for operations which are not yet supported by RAFT
Additional features we've discussed:
- [x] Separate IVF lists into individual memory chunks
- [ ] Saving/loading
To build FAISS w/ optional RAFT support:
```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DFAISS_ENABLE_RAFT=ON -DFAISS_ENABLE_GPU=ON
make -j
```
For development/testing, we've also supplied a bash script to make things easier: `build.sh`
Below is a benchmark comparing the training of IVF Flat indices for RAFT and FAISS:
The benchmark was produced using Googlebench in [this](https://github.com/tfeher/raft/tree/raft_faiss_bench) RAFT fork. We're going to provide benchmarks for the queries as well. There are still a couple bottlenecks to be removed in the IVF-Flat training implementation and we'll update the current benchmark when ready.

Summary:
I've broken out the FlatIndex / Distances changes from https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/issues/2521 into a separate PR to make things a litle easier to review. This does also include a couple other minor changes to the IVF Flat index which I used to make it easier to dispatch to the RAFT version. I can revert that change too if desired.

* add initial cmake support
* update cmake, add cmake instructions to INSTALL
* update findopenmp and INSTALL
* change FindOpenBLAS.cmake to cater for macports
- change cblas.h to openblas_config.h since macports does not ship
cblas.h with openblas.
* revise INSTALL for cmake
