The CUDA python way of having texture objects

[desplenterkarel]

I am now launching CUDA kernels using cupy as this package has the ability to create texture objects.
Is there a way to do this using CUDA python as i want to Launch kernels using Cuda python and not cupy.
As far as i am aware the numba.cuda branch doesn't support texture objects.
So is this supported by Cuda python?
Or do i just need to get the pointer of the texture object from cupy past to the kernel launch?

My plan for texture/surface objects is just to move what I implemented in CuPy to cuda.core (#467), and perhaps make cuda.core.launch() recognize these objects, similar to SMV that we discussed in the other issue.

However, if you already have working CuPy code today that allocates texture objects, you should already be able to pass tex_obj.ptr to cuda.core.launch() and reuse/launch the same C++ kernel that accepts a texture object. Let me know if it does not work for you!
