I guess I have to do a double dash because --no-cuda-noopt-device-debug is thus
spelled. Notice there's also a dash after "no".
...this is so screwed up.

Urgh.
I feel like simpler is probably better. Like, I would rather say:
- We consider /usr/local/cuda, /usr/local/cuda-8.0, ...
- We pick the first one that has a few key files
- We infer its version by looking for version.txt. If we can't read it, for
whatever reason, we assume 7.0.
Than the more complicated
- We infer its version by looking for version.txt. If it's present but we
can't read it, we try to look at the file path (/usr/local/cuda-8.0/...).
Especially because as we make things more complicated, our next step will
probably be to change the algorithm to something like:
- For each directory D in /usr/local/cuda, /usr/local/cuda-8.0, ...
- Infer D's version using the algorithm above.
- If D is not compatible with all of the cuda_archs specified, break and try
the next one...
I do agree that if someone hits a permission problem on version.txt, that would
be very difficult for them to debug. I suppose we could raise a proper error
if version.txt is present but not readable? I'm not sure it's worth doing
that, though...

We also do a check if you invoke ptxas. So the only circumstances under which
we don't do a check is -nocudainc and no invocation of ptxas. In which case
the only thing we're using from the CUDA install is fatbinary, which doesn't
care about the sm version (afaik). We could add a version check on the fatbin
invocation too if you want. My goal was just that if we don't use anything
from the CUDA install, we should not check its version.
