[Request] Remove CUDA dependency alicevision/#439

Currently, we have neither the interest nor the resources to do another implementation of the CUDA code to another GPU framework. If someone is willing to make this contribution, we will support and help for integration.*

Can I use Meshroom without an NVIDIA GPU?

Yes, but you have to use Draft Meshing to complete the reconstruction.
