[FEAT] Add detection of NPUs / AI accelerators and their capabilities. #1012

Description

Wanted Features:

Detect NPUs and other AI accelerator devices and their features, for example: manufacturer name, device name, architecture, frequency, number of cores, and supported AI frameworks.

Motivation:

With the growing popularity of AI, more manufacturers and more users have devices specifically for increasing AI performance, like dedicated AI accelerator PCIe cards and NPUs integrated into desktop processors and mobile SoCs. Soon, those devices may become almost as important for some users as the CPU or GPU.

Please note that I don't currently have such a device myself, so I won't be able to help in testing it, but I thought that fastfetch has some much less important modules, and this one is, in my opinion, missing.
If it is not possible for you to implement it at the moment, feel free to leave it for a future time.
