CUDA requires that cudaSetDevice be called in each thread before any other calls are made to the CUDA API. This is done by default on the main thread but it is not done on new threads created. This commit changes the behavior or the af_init function so that it call the cudaSetDevice when creating a new object in ArrayFire. This commit also refactors the af_init function so that it calls a lower overhead init function which initializes the device manager.

This PR improves the af_init function so that it calls cudaSetDevice for
each new thread when creating any ArrayFire objects.
Description
CUDA requires that cudaSetDevice be called in each thread before
any other calls are made to the CUDA API. This is done by default
on the main thread but it is not done on new threads created. This
commit changes the behavior or the af_init function so that it call
the cudaSetDevice when creating a new object in ArrayFire.
This commit also refactors the af_init function so that it calls a lower
overhead init function which initializes the device manager.
Changes to Users
Users may not need to call af::setDevice in new threads before they
can use ArrayFire functions.
