[ENH] Dev-ops, N+1 offset, temporary directory

[anibalsolon]

This PR:

• changes cmake setup to use conan as its library manager
• downloads and points unit tests to the data dir
• changes the logic to use N+1 offset
• implements the temp dir logic from python
• documents on how to run things
• improves example
• improves unit testing based on the python implementation
• implements benchmark run/stats
• add CI using Github Actions

I think the changes look great!

The next item on the list is about .
Maybe after that item, I can try to run the test on my new computer and see if it works?

On my mac, I am currently seeing:

Great! It all worked!

Just so you know, here are small things I had to do:

After creating the profile, CONAN warn me of 'WARNING: GCC OLD ABI COMPATIBILITY' and told me I likely needed to run this command.
conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 .conan

Then since I used CONAN before when I ran conan install --build=missing --settings=build_type=Debug --profile ./.conan .. I had to add the --update parameters.

Then CMAKE warned me that GTEST was missing,

so I googled it and I installed this:
sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev

And then the build and test worked!

PS: I see the file in ./examples/load_trx.cpp should work but and I see it in the CMAKE, but where is it being built?

[anibalsolon]

@frheault good that it is working now- yes, this command is included in the README

The gtest should have been installed via conan, not sure why it didnt find

[frheault]

@anibalsolon Was I doing something wrong or was the file in ./examples/load_trx.cpp not build?

[frheault]

@anibalsolon Is there something I can run or test before of meeting this afternoon?

[anibalsolon]

@frheault not really- we may need to discuss some design decisions about the cpp implementation today

[mattcieslak]

I think most of these issues are addressed now. We can open new issues if you'd like to revisit
