Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**

As other DataFrame libraries start moving to leveraging GPU resources, it would be useful to see if we could leverage the work already done in pandas and polars for interoperating with cuDF to give a similar experience in DataFusion.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Evaluate the level of effort and technical limitations to using cuDF to evaluate DataFrames. Also worth evaluating is their c++ interface which we could potentially bring in to DataFusion upstream if we are willing to write the appropriate wrappers.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Leave as is.

**Additional context**

This task is really just focused on researching what would be required and if there is an opportunity here.
