Project template using GTSAM + Python wrapping

PREREQUISITES

Python 3.6+ is required, since we support these versions.
To install the wrap package via GTSAM:
- Set the CMake flag GTSAM_BUILD_PYTHON to ON to enable building the Pybind11 wrapper.
- Set the CMake flag GTSAM_PYTHON_VERSION to 3.x (e.g. 3.7), otherwise the default interpreter will be used.
- You can do this on the command line as follows:
```
cmake -DGTSAM_BUILD_PYTHON=ON -DGTSAM_PYTHON_VERSION=3.7 ..
```
Alternatively, you can install the wrap package directly from the repo, but you will still need to install GTSAM.

In the top-level directory, create the build directory and cd into it.
Run cmake ...
Run make, and the wrapped module will be installed to the python directory in the top-level.
To install the wrapped module, simply run make python-install.
You can also run python main.py which calls the wrapped module, to get a flavor of how it works.
