Request: allow QPU+emulation mode compilation

[wimrijnders]

The current makefile is setup up to either compile in QPU mode or in EMULATION mode. This this handled by the make parameter QPU=1.

I understand from the code and docs that it is possible to compile the two modes together. I would like to have this option available. I therefore request to replace parameter QPU=1 with the following:

• No 'mode' parameter defaults to emulation, as now
• mode=QPU for QPU mode
• mode=EMULATION for emulation mode
• mode=DUAL (or perhaps mode=BOTH) for the two modes combined

I would like to hear your thoughts on this. As before, I'm only too happy to implement this myself.

Hi @wimrijnders,

I don't remember why there isn't already support for simultaneous QPU mode and EMULATION mode. Maybe there is a good reason, maybe not.

Looking at the code, I see absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work. OK to add it in the way I describe above? If it doesn't work I'll revert it.
