Description
This issue is to continue the discussion raised in #642, regarding a framework that would allow users to explicitly set parameters related to GPU kernel launch configurations at runtime.
@jedbrown suggested a possible setup with:

> int CeedOperatorSetOption(CeedOperator, const char *key, const char *value);
> ```
Another consideration is that different GPU backends will have different numbers of available parameters. The non-fused backends could have different choices for restrictions, basis actions, and QFunctions.
To start, I assigned everyone who had participated thus far in the discussion of #642. Feel free to assign/tag anyone else.
