This PR adds setup and cleanup functionality to the compiler backend. When using the compiler backend, users can now provide setup and cleanup code that runs before and after each kernel benchmark. The setup code can allocate and prepare resources that the kernel needs, while the cleanup code ensures proper resource deallocation. This is implemented through two new dictionaries in kernel_options: setup_dict and cleanup_dict, which contain the setup/cleanup source code, function name, and number of arguments to pass from the kernel's argument list. The setup function can modify arguments and these modifications are visible to both the kernel and cleanup functions.
