Tket transpilation pass wrapper

[1ucian0]

Description

tket has a lot of nice transpilation passes and they even have a qiskit-tket converter. How hard could be to write a wrapper on those passes so you could use them in Qiskit?

Deliverables

Some possible deliverables:

• A package that depends on both projects and allows you to wrap tket passes into qiskit ones.
• a qiskit transpilation pass that transpile the circuit in tket
• ??

Update :heavy_check_mark: Implementation of idea no. 1 (Custom transpiler pass that works as a wrapper) :heavy_check_mark: Implementation of idea no. 3 (A pass manager) :heavy_check_mark: Using pydoc to get TKET pass classes initialization arguments instead of depending on catching runtime exceptions. :heavy_check_mark: Hiding the incompatibility between Qiskit & TKET by doing the data type conversion automatically. :heavy_check_mark: Adding a Jupyter notebook to the project to demonstrate the module features.
