Prune CUDA static libraries so that the binary size of the final executable is smaller. This commit will run the nvprune utility on some static libraries (cublasLt, cublas, cusolver, and cusparse) to remove unused architectures from the binary. The resulting binary is significantly smaller when targeting a single compute capability.

Prune CUDA static libraries so that the binary size of the final executable
is smaller.
Description
Prune CUDA static libraries so that the binary size of the final executable
is smaller. This commit will run the nvprune utility on some static libraries
(cublasLt, cublas, cusolver, and cusparse) to remove unused architectures
from the binary. The resulting binary is significantly smaller when targeting
a single compute capability.
For example when targeting only compute capability 7.5 the resulting binary
is 545MB as opposed to 1100+MB without pruning.
