- simplification of conditionals with integers uses ISL library now
  via islpy bindings

- test run again
- notebooks not yet

Concept: Generate code involving the (un)packing of fields (from)to linear
(1D) arrays, i.e. (de)serialization of the field values for buffered
communication.

A linear index is generated for the buffer, by inferring the strides and
variables of the loops over fields in the AST. In the CPU, this information is
obtained through the makeLoopOverDomain function, in
pystencils/transformations/transformations.py. On CUDA, the strides of
the fields (excluding buffers) are combined with the indexing variables to infer
the indexing of the buffer.

What is supported:
    - code generation for both CPU and GPU
    - (un)packing of fields with all the memory layouts supported by
    pystencils
    - (un)packing slices of fields (from)into the buffer
    - (un)packing subsets of cell values from the fields (from)into the buffer

Limitations:

- assumes that only one buffer and one field are being operated within
each kernel, however multiple equations involving the...

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

Testcases test_mu_equivalence, test_phi_equivalence are passing.

Fixed function bug.

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

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

- 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)

Move my llvm demo notebook in the correct folder

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.

- support for different #ghost layers at each coordinate limit

- LoopOverDomain changed to be able to loop over rectangular sub-region of field
- support for slicing with makeSlice

- added sphinx files for documentation generation
- collected kernel creation functions in new "cpu" and "cudagpu" modules
