Package: ISAAC (#3733)

Adds the [ISAAC](https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/isaac)
in situ volume rendering library. The ISAAC library can be build with
render/filter kernels for Nvidia GPUs via CUDA or with a more general
backend via [Alpaka](https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/alpaka)
with support for Nvidia GPUs (via CUDA) and multicore CPUs.

Since alpaka is not yet part of spack, the second variant is still
commented out.

Packages

- `isaac`: header-only library with dependencies to other C++ libraries
           that is then used in simulations
- `isaac-server`: stand-alone executable that connects N simulations with M
                  clients in a `N simulations:1 server` and
                  `1 server:M clients` fashion

(ISAAC clients simply speak websockets/JSON and are usually
[HTML/JS pages](https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/isaac/tree/v1.2.0/client))

Downstream Usage

PIConGPU uses ISAAC for in situ visualization.
