This adds support for `Preferences.jl` as the backing store for setting a computation backend (currently only supports `fftw` and `mkl` as valid choices). The convenience method `set_provider!()` is given, but it is little more than a wrapper around `Preferences.set_preferences!()`. Users can alter their `LocalPreferences.toml` or `Project.toml` files by hand as well; in the event that an illegal value is provided, an error will be displayed and `fftw` will be chosen as the default value. Preferences is a relatively new subsystem in Julia and it has some lacking support in `Pkg`; so for now we are adding a separate `test/Project.toml`, which will have preferences added into it on CI, as there is a bug in propagating preferences when a single `Project.toml` is used with extra dependencies for the tests.

@staticfloat perhaps it'd also be useful to have some documentation about how to set the preference 🙂 For example in https://juliamath.github.io/FFTW.jl/stable/#Installation |
| @static if fftw_provider == "mkl" | ||
| using IntelOpenMP_jll, MKL_jll | ||
| const libfftw3 = MKL_jll.libmkl_rt_path | ||
| const libfftw3f = libfftw3 | ||
| end |

This doesn't seem compatible with PackageCompiler. The paths will end up being compiled into the system image.

Correct, this should be done within __init__() if we need this to work with PackageCompiler.

Generally we ned all packages to work with PackageCompiler and specifically we very much need this to work with PackageCompiler
