Adds the Heaviside step function to Arbor's iexpr

Co-authored-by: boeschf <48126478+boeschf@users.noreply.github.com>

1. Fix Python bindings for `recipe::update`
   - *drop* the GIL before handing off to C++
   - tighten exception safety
2. Run plasticity examples with threads; both C++ and Python.
   - C++: Guard against I/O interleaving.
   - Py: Drop spikes from source, prettify reporting.
   - C++: use decor chaining.
3. Modernise PYBIND11_OVERLOAD -> *RIDE (advised since 2.6).
4. No longer do we initialise connectivity twice.
   - Simplify communicator construction.
   - Fix unit tests that needed to two-phase init communicator.

Inline NMODL `PROCEDURE`s into their callers.

Main changes
- uncorrelated and independently distributed white noise generation for point and density mechanisms
- enabled by extending nmodl dialect and adjusting modcc (WHITE_NOISE block, stochastic solver method)
- SDEs are solved by Euler-Maruyama method (synapse collapsing disabled in this case)
- CPU and GPU backends responsible for creating random numbers using random123
- simulation takes a seed value
- bumped ABI due to addition of random numbers in ppack
Incidental changes
- builder pattern for simulation
- pimpl idiom supported by util classes

* remove storage of RHS and face-conductance in solvers
* elide copy RHS->U and RHS->Xd respectively
  -> solve will now directly mangly U and Xd
* fix tests accordingly
* Introduce wrapper macro for __restrict__ to Isolate against compiler specifics.

use std variants of sqrt and move (removes warnings, and is safer)

Fix a typo preventing the generation of GPU mechs.

* Add pybind11 version to config.
* Add version check for PB11.
* Bump CMake a tiny bit.

This is prep for meson in addition to simplifying (ie reducing) the amount of scripting
we have. In the long run, I'd like to remove `BuildModules.cmake` too, but this might
be superseded by meson and this PR is self-contained.

# Changes
- `modcc` accepts now a list of NMODL files
- likewise, `modcc` is now able to spit out a catalogue.cpp file
- remove the `generate-catalogue` script, simplify a-b-c
- remove some options from `modcc` we never use
- No longer allow external modcc

- BREAKING: Rename spike detector -> threshold detector in Python
- `spike_detector` is still around, will throw a deprecation error; will be removed 0.9
- this brings Python closer to the C++ API and removes lots of ambiguities in the docs.

* Add segment tree editing: join and split
* Add equivalence and equality on trees
* Apply isometries to trees
* Add raw loaders to NeuroLucida ASC and SWC that return segment trees instead of morphologies

Spike source cells can now generate events based on the interleaving of arbitrarily many schedules.
This should simplify the required connectivity.

Until now, point mechanisms applied a weighting factor when updating internal/external concentrations.
This was an oversight and is only correct in density mechanisms. This has been rectified, but might change
point mechanism semantics for injecting/modifying Xi/Xo values.

- Print better modcc errors
- Catch errors in symbolic diff in linearity test
- Abort upon such errors and advise for a different solver

- Remove the old, multi-target `event_generator` class in favour of `schedule_generator(tgt, weight, explicit_schedule)`
- Much simplification ensues, `event_generator` is no longer a type-erasing container, but just what 
   `schedule_generator` was before
- Make the label resolution in generators a bit more eager, no longer at simulation time, 
   but now during setup (bit give a wee bit of perf as well)

Closes #1488 

Add functionality, docs, and examples on editing the connection table.  This is a first, small PR
on the topic, further functionality will come as requested.

Teaser example
```cxx
    // This recipe -- omitted -- implements a mutable connection table 
    // and returns it via the `connections_on` callback. New entries are
    // added using `add_connection` which makes one link from a central 
    // `spike_source_cell` to the given `gid`
    auto rec = recipe();
    rec.add_connection(1);

    auto sim = arb::simulation(rec, ctx);

    // Record spikes
    std::vector<arb::spike> spikes;
    sim.set_local_spike_callback([&spikes](const auto& s) { spikes.insert(spikes.end(), s.begin(), s.end()); });

    // Run and print all spikes per gid
    sim.run(0.25, 0.025);
    show_spikes(spikes);

    // Add a new connection
    rec.add_connection(2);
    sim.update_connections(rec);

    // Run and print all spikes per gid
    sim.run(0.5, 0.025);
    show_spikes(spikes);
```

# Update July '22

- added re-wiring of Event Generators
- implemented a split between a recipe and a recipe-update (cheekily dubbed `topping` until further notice)
- `recipes` are `toppings` via inheritance

**BREAKING** Remove access to time `t` in NMODL.

- Enhance `run_cpp_examples.sh` to do some very basic checking of spikes counts
- Add a script to check all releases
- The former must succeed for all commits to master

Here's the expected spike counts as of 0.7
- brunel 6998
- bench 972
- ring 94 (19 pre-v0.7)
- gap_junctions 30

- allow arbor to be build against py3.11
- modernise!

Document use and care of spike detectors.

Enable pyArborio input routines to consume Stream objects in addition to files by name.
- NML
- NeuroLucida ASC
- SWC

Closes #1459 

Do not abuse `pybind::arg_v("name", T default, "description")` as `pybind::arg_v("name", "description")`.
Use descriptive names and `pybind::arg` instead.

Closes #1754 

Functionality to
- delete ions from global properties
- peek into global properties
- expose painted, placed, and defaulted items
- expose voltage limit to python
- make voltage limit an optional to allow for arbitrary values.
- Add ion_settings view to python = (valence, ion_data, rev_pot_method)

Documentation
- cable cell properties in python

Closes #1578 
Closes #1577 
Closes #1607 

* Add find_private_gpu and arbor.env.

- Add stacktraces to
   1. arbor_exception (and all derived) as `where`
   2. arbor_internal_error as `where`
   3. arb_assert
- Propagate stacktraces to Python exceptions derived from the above.
- Expand dev/doc on debugging

* Clean up the bundled mechanisms. Closes #1155

Remove the redundant fvm_(value|size|index)_type aliases and replace them with the raw ABI types.

Throw error if WATCH encountered in NMODL.

- elaborate probing API
- add definitions for different kinds of probes (vector, scalar, set).
- add sketches and example for data layout
