Description

As @avehtari suggested, we could ask users a few things during installation to add additional compile flags.

For example:

  • do you want mtune=native cxx flags?
  • always enable threading?
  • always use pedantic mode?
  • ...

Also, add an option to skip interaction with yes/no to all.

I am not 100% how that plays with installing cmdstan as part of a script that is not interactive (for example for CI). This is my only worry really. I don't want to break existing scripts obviously.
