- step class for LB phasefield generic enough to work with 3-phase and
  N-phase models
- cahn hilliard can either be solved by LBM or by finite differences
- 3 phase model can be solved with rho phase or without

Fixed toDot.

Remove unnecessary comments.

- single function to create kernel for specified target
- data type creation from string - reuse numpy functionality
- bugfixes in dot display

- loop cutting
- simplification of conditionals inside loop

- support for logical operators, and/or
- both phase field kernels can be vectorized now

- phasefield phi sweep vectorizes successfully

Added LLVM: CodePrinter and a compiler
Updated data_types
Added tests
Added jupyter notebooks
Fixed bugs
Restructured transformation functions

- activated vectorization for LBM kernels

- renaming because of clashes with types.py from other packages

- sympys piecewise defined functions are mapped to blend instructions
- cast function is now a class
- several bugfixes

- first vectorization tests are running
- type system: use memoized getTypeOfExpression
- casts are done using sp.Function('cast')
- C backend adapted for vectorization support
- AST nodes can required optional headers

-> moved llvm and dot import in try-except block

- abstraction layer for selecting CUDA block and grid sizes
  - line based (was implemented before)
  - block based (new, more flexible)
-  new conditional (if/else) ast node, which is necessary for indexing schemes (guarding if)

- this extension is necessary for more generic boundary treatment
- cells can now be structs, i.e. contain different data types
- instead of having numeric index dimensions, one can use the index per cell to adress struct elements

- use data type class consistently instead of strings (in TypedSymbol, Field and jit module)
- new datatype class is based on numpy types with additional specifier information (const and restrict)
- translation between data type class and other modules (numpy, ctypes)

- windows support
- automatic caching and creation of shared library with all generated kernels
- restrict keyword and function prefixes are preprocessor macros now -> easier to generate one code for linux, cuda, windows

This commit makes the Python code backwards compatible down to Python 2.7. Previously it would only run on Python 3.5 and up.

Problems fixed included:
- `time.perf_counter()` doesn't exist
- all classes need to be new-style
- `functools.lru_cache` doesn't exist
- only the last argument to a function call can be `*`-expanded
- the `nonlocal` keyword doesn't exist
- metaclasses are used with a different syntax
- `yield from` doesn't exist
- `tempdir.TemporaryDirectory` doesn't exist
- iterators need a `next()` method

Move my llvm demo notebook in the correct folder

- colored dot output of AST
- various display helpers used in documentation

and not as a string.
Changed name of the file TypedSymbol to types.
Fixed usage of dtype accordingly, however i might not have found every
usage of dtype.
