    Add a plethora of config options to a-b-c. (#1958) · 81096351

    - arbor-build-catalogue (a-b-c) does no longer need to be in a fixed location
    - nor do we statically fix the configuration for a-b-c
    - instead, we rely on `arbor.config` to read the relevant default values
    - each value can be overriden, if desired
    - added many more values to the configuration
      - gpu type and arch
      - paths and prefix 
      - CXX
    - report default settings for better diagnosis
    - implement a fallback for prefix if that does not exist; in particular for the amazing skbuild.
    
    In essence you can now use a-b-c as a standalone tool, as long as you have a properly 
    configured py-arbor.
    
    Example output after removing `_skbuild`
