FFe: Sync nvidia-cuda-toolkit 7.5.18-1 (multiverse) from Debian experimental (non-free)

[Graham Inggs]

Please sync nvidia-cuda-toolkit 7.5.18-1 (multiverse) from Debian experimental (non-free)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
New upstream version with support for the latest GPU devices.
Support for gcc/g++ 5, previous version only supports up to 4.9.
The packages contain pre-compiled binaries so there is no opportunity to backport fixes from future versions, so shipping the newest possible version in Ubuntu is desirable.

I have built a recent snapshot of Debian's SVN in a PPA for amd64 and ppc64el.
The reverse dependencies eztrace-contrib, hwloc-contrib, pycuda and starpu-contrib all built, some with minor modifications.
