Refactor and enhance CUDA operations and dependencies

- Updated `pyproject.toml` to constrain `ipython` version for Python 3.8 compatibility and added new CUDA source files.
- Modified `run-tests.sh` to install dependencies from `requirements-dev.txt`.
- Enhanced `__init__.py` files to include `cuda_ops` in the module exports.
- Implemented CUDA operations for finite-difference gradient and batched quadrature, including bindings and kernels.
- Added utility functions for CUDA operations in `utils/cuda_ops.py`.
- Created comprehensive tests for CUDA operations, ensuring correctness against CPU implementations.
- Updated functional classes to support additional parameters and improved code readability.
