Subject: [PATCH] Ufuncs, reduce, outer, accumulate: view attribute
 initializer, generalized functors, more useful specialized utils functions
 (#269)

* add missing include for cuda context

* add unary_ufunc, binary_ufunc, broadcast_binary_ufunc view entrypoint

* add unary_ufunc, binary_ufunc, and broadcast_binary_ufunc functors

* add accumulate functor

* add outer functor

* add reduce functor

* simplify various ufunc functors

* add accumulate view attribute initializer

* add outer view attribute initializer

* add reduce view attribute initializer

* add ufunc view attribute initializer

* refactor various ufunc, reduce, outer, accumulate views

* refactor various utils for easier specialization

* add functor isequal specialization

* update tests

* try to fix build

* fix tests

* fix adaptivecpp installs scripts

* fix sycl dockerfile deps installation

* fix simd ufunc specialization

* fix simd ufunc specialization

* fix sycl dockerfile deps installation

* fix build

* fix build
