Investigate GPU-backed array support (cupy) #1610

Description

@rajeeja

#177 raised this a while back but got closed without a real plan. Worth revisiting more narrowly: could UXarray support cupy arrays for on-node GPU parallelism, similar to how dask is already supported for CPU task-parallelism? They're complementary, not either/or.

Cupy is NVIDIA-only, which might be a problem given DOE's multi-vendor GPU needs (see @rljacob's comment on #177) — worth weighing against something like numba.cuda or array-API-standard compatibility instead.

Scoping this as a prototype + discussion, not a full implementation.
