[Bug]: factories.array illegal parameter combinations copy & split

[mtar]

What happened?

ht.array creates a new DNDarray on the CPU when the arguments copy = False and split >= 0 are passed. This should not happen. In addition, copy = None returns the same DNDarray which doesn't infer the device.

Code snippet triggering the error

import torch
import heat as ht

m,n = 40,20

a = torch.randn(m, n, dtype=torch.double, device='cuda')
b = ht.array(a, copy=False, split=0, dtype=ht.double)

print('a.device =', a.device)
print('b.device =', b.device)
print('b.split =', b.split)

Error message or erroneous outcome

a.device = cuda:0
b.device = cpu:0
b.split = 0

a.device = cuda:0
b.device = cpu:0
b.split = 0
