[CMake] Using CMake to link C++ and CUDA Object file

To be clear the FindCUDA module currently does two things it finds the
location of the CUDA SDK and it also adds the 'cuda_' commands.

In your case you might still need to use FindCUDA to find the location of
the thrust include directory, or you can find the location yourself by
using find_path like:

```
find_path(CUDA_TOOLKIT_INCLUDE
  device_functions.h # Header included in toolkit
  PATHS ${CMAKE_CUDA_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES}
  PATH_SUFFIXES include ../include
  NO_DEFAULT_PATH
  )
```
