Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Pandas supports passing multiple dataframes to `join` at once, cudf does not.
ref: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/merging.html#joining-multiple-dataframes
**Describe the solution you'd like**
To be able to join multiple dataframes efficiently in one call:
```
result = left.join([right, right2])
```
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Can currently use `cudf.concat` in some cases:
```
df_wide = cudf.concat([...], axis=1)
```
however `concat` does not accept a `join` keyword to specify the kind of join to perform.
