ILGPU Added metapackage containing all ILGPU libraries.

Not sure if we want this meta-package or not, but might be useful. Also not sure about the name.

Great idea @MoFtZ!

For the name, I would suggest renaming ILGPU to ILGPU.Core, and naming the meta-package ILGPU. This would mean a breaking change and thus something we would plan for 2.0.

Thoughts?

@MoFtZ I really like this idea 👍

I have to admit that I prefer @jgiannuzzi's idea of creating a "new" ILGPU package instead of an ILGPU.All package.

@jgiannuzzi @m4rs-mt I agree that the name ILGPU.All is not great. However, I was trying to avoid a breaking change. Also, it matched some existing names like Microsoft.AspNetCore.All.

I'll put this PR on hold until we decide on a timeframe (and name?).

Something else to consider, if we rename ILGPU to ILGPU.Core, are we only renaming the nuget package? Or all the files/folders?

That would include:

Src/ILGPU to Src/ILGPU.Core
Src/ILGPU.Tests to Src/ILGPU.Core.Tests
etc

Renames the ILGPU nuget package to ILGPU.Core. Adds a new ILGPU metapackage.

Depends on #718.

Abandoning this PR.

In the future e.g. v2, it will be easier to deprecate ILGPU.Algorithms and release the ILGPU package with ILGPU.Algorithms baked in.
