[FEA] Add aarch64 build support into CI/CD for cuSignal

[awthomp]

cuSignal 0.13 currently has bare-bones instructions for getting cuSignal built and running using Anaconda on a Jetson Embedded GPU. Since the main cuSignal developers are primarily working on PCIe versions of GPUs, some merged PRs may break aarch64 builds; this recently came up with a Numba versioning issue. Since cuSignal has a significant number of users on a Jetson Nano, TX2, or Xavier, we should simplify the SW delivery to these users and ensure a positive experience.

[awthomp]

The core cuSignal dependencies on the Jetson GPUs are:

• scipy
• numpy
• numba>=0.49
• cupy >= 7.2

Scipy, Numba, and Numpy all have anaconda images built for aarch64 and are available via conda-forge or numba channels. CuPy, however, is seemingly blocked in their aarch64 build.

See: https://github.com/cupy/cupy/issues/3196 https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes/cudatoolkit-feedstock/issues/3

The current work-around for source installs is to install pip into the conda environment and then run pip install cupy>=7.2.

Marked rotten? Huh?

I have this working with conda-forge in a Conda environment on my Jetsons in https://github.com/edgyR/edgyR-containers.git FWIW ... if there's a CI/CD provider I can use for free I'm all ears. :-)

@znmeb -- yeah, there was a recent CI change that made all older issues without active conversation/PRs 'rotten'. I want to keep this one open. To be honest, I've been working more on the datacenter rather than edge side and will restart the conversation on where we are with Jetson CI/CD with RAPIDS.

TBH my bottleneck can be fixed with pure arm64 Ubuntu - my builder images are what takes the time and those don't touch the GPU. But the only thing I've been able to find to get those done is paid time on AWS Gravitons, and I'm suspecting one of the builds needs more than 4 GB of RAM.
