Implement NGT SoA Code in O2 standalone benchmark

• Working on this fork of the AliceO2 repo, with a CI pipeline:
  • Running on NGT hardware with 4 different GPUs (Nvidia and AMD)
  • Extended CI-pipline to fail if GPU.out changes
• Implemented SoA in:
  
  • SectorTracker
    • GPUTPCBaseTrackParam
    • GPUTPCTrackParam
    • GPUTPCTracklet
• Maybe go back from CRTP to classical inheritance
• New way of providing iterators:
  • Less code and simpler code: https://godbolt.org/z/jMaa3c48E
  • Supports the following sort functions:
    • std::sort
    • thrust::sort
    • our custom sort function
• Next Steps:
  
  • Make better use of SoA to improve performance
  • Try David's suggestion
