Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
A user with existing Feather data files asked about GPU-accelerated Feather support. cuDF currently supports CPU-based Feather reading but does not use GPU acceleration.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
`cudf.read_feather` should be GPU accelerated.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Converting files to another format like Parquet is probably ideal for performance and can leverage existing GPU accelerated I/O. This conversion can be done with pandas.

**Additional context**
